Reply to: To violent of tack for a hobie 16?

[quote=peachesofpeaches]I recently got an old hobie 16 from a friend, have figured out how to rig it and am attempting to learn how to sail (basically I pretty much have almost no knowledge on the subject). But the real question is I was out with a friend and when we would tack I would just let the wind throw the main sail/boom across to the other side of the boat with out trying to ease the process by holding the main sheet. Is this bad for it? Am I supposed to lessen the blow on the boat by holding the main sheet? And If anyone would like to give a new sailor advise/links or anything that would help me learn it would be greatly appreciated![/quote]
