[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=nhanson] We typically double trap off the wing with 2 adult males and a skipper on the tramp/hull leaning on the wing in heavy wind/seas.[/quote]
Awesome, I think you indeed may be exceeding the design limits, but having a great time doing it! "If nothing ever breaks you ain't pushing hard enough."

The last link there has some snippets of an absolutely insane day... 40+ double trap+skipper+navigator. The spray looks painful.

"Painful Spray" sounds like a great name for a Hobie 18. I've been there.
That's a great H18 video, lets see four on board with two on trap (off the wing) in those conditions on one of these new fangled "high tech" beachcats!
Two on deck, two on the wing. It takes a "TON" of wind to put that much weight on the same side. Hats off to the whole group, do you know these guys? We need them on here.

The skipper needs to fix his downhaul, looks like the bolt rope is out of the track. :-O
