[quote=MN3][quote]I think those Hobie 15s are really intended for kids/youth and from the looks of the video, two full grown men were sailing the boat in strong conditions, so I suspect the thing was overloaded. [/quote]
I thought that too but couldn't tell if they were adults or just big kids on my phone - clearly adult size
I am shocked to see the specs on this boat:
Crew: 3
Length: 4.95 m / 16' 4"
Beam: 2.26 m / 7' 5"
Capacity: 320 kg / [b]705 lbs[/b]
Weight: 155 kg / 342 lbs
[quote]Still pretty scary to see that failure though. If one of the guys had gotten wrapped up in the tramp when the boat turned into a taco, he very easily could have been killed.[/quote]

[quote]in the video and the whole rig is leaning way over. [/quote]
I saw that too - but thought it was the gopro fisheye lense[/quote]
