LOL!  A guy I work with desribed the times he went sailing on a Hobie.  
He may or may not have had as much beer with him as usual.  However, 
I wouldn't bet against him!

Partially true...  Steve does play fair.  However, he had to 
replace his mast and had to get one with a lot larger thickness.  
As he likes to go fast and the new mast may support the trapeeze, 
he opted for it.  With luck, we can re-rate him in some fashion 
to keep the races even.

Sounds larger than my jib!  Not sure of the size, but it's only about 
3.5 feet on the foot an about 6 or 7 feet on the luff!  
Can I borrow it to use as a spinakker?     
... If you're thinking hard about reefing, you should have.
