[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=MN3][quote]My H-18 is a handful to solo, its not something I would want to do. Forget about righting it solo when you capsize. [/quote]
I solo'd my H-18 often, and my mystere 5.5 (which has center boards vs the dagger boards of the Mystere F-18 Twister) 90% of the time, even in high winds. It does take knowing how to depower and handle a boat very well... but it is completely do-able.[/quote]
I solo my Hobie 18 more than I have crew, even during races. I can right the boat without poles or buckets but of course I'm a little larger than average. However, technique is everything and I know someone who probably weighs 100 pounds less than I do who also solos the H18 and can right it (as they need to quite often :lol: )
If I was lighter I could show off like this instead of just staying planted sitting on the wings.

Instead I don't even rig the trap wires on my boat.[/quote]
