coastrat6' 7" ! holy cow damom! you should get a way bigger boat, one where your feet don't hang off..

Maybe a Formula 40?

Yes, I often wonder why, out of all the sports in the world where the taller/bigger man has the advantage, I choose to participate in the one sport where the smaller guy has the advantage. I can't help it, I love the beach and I love sailing, so what's more natural than sailing beachcats?

I will go in on a x40 with ya. I can probably afford to buy all the ring-dings needed (maybe).

perhaps we should look at the new x-32's. they are cheaper and fit 3 to a cargo box

I was 6'4" 160lbs (probably about like you) when I first got my drivers license at age 16 and stopped growing at 6'8".

Great picture of you as a kid, got to love the shorts, I am younger then you, but also have pictures of me wearing about the same style shorts.

OK, you are banned, not supposed to be anyone on here taller than me. LOL

Is it a coincidence we both sail winged Hobie 18's?

I think there is a very good reason we both sail winged H18's. So much more room and comfort then most other beachcats out there, especially compared to the H16 I started with. I hated crawling under the H16 boom. Not sure I will ever go to a non-winged cat again.
