[quote=popeyez7]~~ This is a good topic, but some things have to be considered !!! If you flip yer cat or she falls off cause she got wacked by a big wave or whatever... can she get back on??? That was a problem we faced one day. We were out in some fairly strong winds that made fairly big waves. Not the kind of winds to be on the wire, but we could sit on the seats and still move nice & fast... a nice comfy ride. We have no idea where this larger than usual big wave came from, but it knocked her off and she almost took me with her. Good thing that didn't happen, the boat would'av sailed by itself,(sheeted in & locked in)... we would'av been left out there !!!! Well I went back and got her but she had trouble getting back on even with my help.... most women don't have the upper body strength to pull themselves UP... I had a hold of her belt trying to pull her up but I was also kinda in her way. After some cussin & tuggin she was on. If ya think of it it puts both of you in trouble in an odd way (things can happen out there beyond your means)........ Another thing to think about... can she or your crew sail your monster to turn around and get you if YOU fall off ???? We take friends, or family, or yer wife/girlfriend/"F-buddy" for a good sail and it turns out to be a disaster... someone got hurt or they drowned...
