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

[quote=Deepsees]Not knowing if you had a jib... assuming you do. As the tack takes place, the main should be pulled in as much as possible before the turn starts. If you have a jib... leave it where it is and let the wind back blow against it to push the bow around. Once the bow has passed through the eye of the wind... dump the jib to the other side and set it. In high winds, as the boat takes on wind after the tack, it is a good idea to keep the main sail line in your hand and uncleated. This enables you to quickly let the main out if the boat starts to blow over. Deepsees[/quote]
