Catalina
 

Okay, so I watched these two videos today from Fastlane and damn, they screwed me up. I can't work - Just keep thinking "what a phookin kick in the nuts that would have been...."

Thanks for link. I saw a rough cut playing in the store, awesome vid.

That is awesome. What a great time.

DANG!!

Very cool! Boys being boys!:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:............I feel old :biggrinjester:

Thats awesome.

Anyone want to trade a nicely rigged 2009 Hobie Revo for one of those Adventures with the sail? I want to try that. Anyone have any idea how long it took them to get to Catalina? :cheers1:

damn...that water is clear.

I spoke to one of the guys very briefly, he said 5 going, 6 coming back (ish).

Just because of that video I am going to go to catalina in one of the tri maran things that they have. THATLOOKED AWESOME

Thx for the link, nice!!!

I am with you!

I've been eyeing those trimarans for a while. The tandem model is about $4.7K and the single $3.7K. The highest speed I've seen is 10.5 knots in the single and heard the tandem is faster. There seems to be alot of splashing from the bow at the high speeds. I wonder if next year's model will fix that problem. Any Hobie reps online?

Great. One more thing I have to have. Thanks a lot.

I sailed a catamaran to catalina in the late '80s. No compass, no GPS, we only brought a small bottle of water and one sandwich each with our clothes in trash bags. On top of that it was overcast so we couldn't see the island when we left. Looking back it seems foolish.

We lost our wind about 2 miles from the island so we had to each stradle a hull on our stomachs and start paddling so I can definitely appreciate the pedal drive. When we came into the harbor we caught some wind and sailed into the harbor on one hull. The sailors in the marina came out of their yachts and gave us a standing ovation. Very cool trip and a great memory.

rude comment removed.

I believe their video scored with at least two people I know....I pick mine up sometime next week. Going with Roeboat this weekend for a demo ride...

Wow, you weren't kidding! Nice one.

Dude, what kind of comment is that? Please explain yourself or keep those kinds of comments to yourself.

Like you, I couldn't even work after I saw that video yesterday. I sent it to the guy I made that trip to Catalina with and it made him want to move back to California.

Are you going with the single or tandem? I was checking them out last night and with the sail area it looks like the tandem would go faster. Any place you know of to demo them?

Oh and don't worry about Danny. He's mad at the world right now over his guilt at taking a baby fish. But he'll get on the treadmill and get over it.

Danny - multiple inappropriate comments. 7 day ban to cool off
