A video and a few photos of the run, a distance race starting at Seabrook Sailing Club on Galveston Bay on October 29th. It was a casual gathering from the club and around Redfish Island.

Nice, next time get your crew of the windward hull. you could have flown a hull here. more speed was possible! Oh and get forward on the boat, if it's supercat you need to drive the bows!

Yeah, he was over there a bit. (around 6:20 min in the video) But the outside temp was 44 when we hit the water and it was too cold. Supercats are really wet boats.

Nice video, Ernie. That was a fun sail, with perfect weather once it warmed up a bit. We had 10 cats from a Hobie 14 to your Supercat 19 plus a 470. Winds up to 10 knots. One demasting with a tow home, one capsize, and a bunch of turnbacks for various reasons. Railean Rum donated t-shirts and bottles of rum for drawing prizes after the sail. Hopefully, Trey can keep this an annual event.

okay, I get why you did it like this. I sailed our SC17 once in 20 knots on the leeward hull getting the spray in my face. It is a wet ride!

Here's another SuperCat Video for ya'll. This is day three at Kerr Lake NC. There's some camera shake since my sweetie was filming from shore and using max zoom.

You can see the Supercat 'firehose' off the leeward bow.

Great video !! We got a few SC19's in our group. We need to come down and sail with you in this together !! That would be awsome. Looks like a fun run if the weather was a bit warmer. -
