Of course, if you prefer not to tow up here, you are welcome to sail with me on my (much more sedate than 21SE) Getaway.

I'll be towing my Hobie-21 ; i'll also toss the Hang glider on the boat for
a few flights in your aria. The kite boarding equipment will stay home.
Lots of people i kite board with ; they just can't understand why i'd go out on a
catamaran, when i could be boarding instead . They don't get it ; i like sailing , exactly
as much as i like to kite board. Now Flying a HG , is a different story.
You'll get a kick out of this shot of me in USA today :
http://www.usatoday.com/story/your-take ... 29357882=1The back story is that i went in 1/2 with a friend , on a Hobie 20 .
We had the Main reefed down to the size of a Hobie 16, with no jib.
The wind at Mohave was blowing near 35-mph that day , and a gust hit us
at the south end of the lake ; it took out the main , (turned it into rags).
We stowed the main and limped back 13 miles to Cottonwood cove, with
just the jib. The wind backed off so much , that i got board, and hooked into
the wire, just for fun . Notice there ain't any white-caps in the shot !!
Anyway ; i plan to join Ya , Next year ; if that's Cool ?
