Well i went down to the marina to launch it i was a little nervous about using the ramp. One of the workers was standing by i ask if i could back onto the grass and launch from the sand he said sure. rigging wasnt bad i had done it a few times in my yard so it didnt take long. got out on the water a taught myself how to drive tack and gybe about the third time out i had a pretty good handle on it i was even pulling a kayak for a while. the only bad part was trying to beach it because i was aiming at a small area that was dead into the wind. we had a blast. ill get some pictures up

google map these its where i launched

34.697775,-77.430214 the downside nnw winds

I havent had the hobie out. the prindle seems easier to rig up because the tramp is at the same height as the hulls the jib is a little tricky to get hooked. I did find these truths to be self evident that....

1) if theres anything the side shrouds can get caught on, they will

2) whenever you need to look at the mast the sun will be in your eyes
