[quote=smfinley]Similar experience I had about a month ago but with a H16. We were about 3 miles off shore on Lake Michigan and I noticed a H16 that kept pointing into the wind and then falling off and going further off shore. I finally tacked back out to see what they were doing. They couldn't figure out how to turn their boat around. Probably 10-15mph winds with some decent chop, and a H16 can be tricky to tack in those conditions, especially with the chop.
I had to coach them through how to backwind the jib and then back out of the tack. They finally got turned around and headed back to shore. Not sure how long it would have taken them to get to Michigan, but that is where they were headed......[/quote]
