We had some friends (Ave, Ray and Layali) over from Houston for the weekend - the wind was up (but from the NW) so we took HOOYAH out for a spin.
The wind was stiff - ranging from 10-17, to 20-27. More than a couple of times the leeward ama was buried deep and pushing the boat towards a capsize. Didn't go over - just close (rounding up slowed the boat down enough to get the ama to pop back up). Ray thought it was great, La got a little spooked - rightly so - she was out on the runs when the gusts were pushing 27 mph!!! What a salty trooper!!!
Ray and I got the boat up to 16 mph!!! I think the extra body weight in less winds allowed us to make the best of the situation. A new personal best on the boat!
All in all another beautiful day -
HOO-YAH!
