Hannah receiving instructions about the boat and "hooking up - trapping out". The wind was not too favorable for "trapping out" but we made the best of it. |

That's Hannah driving the boat. she did very well considering the light and shifting winds. |

Lindsay "trapping out" on the trapeze wire. Difficult to see but she is also steering the boat from that position. |

Trapping out allows your weight to be used to counteract the wind forces on the sail. This becomes very usefull on windy days (which we wished we had) to improve speed and boat handling. Of course, the top thrill is using your weight to perfectly balance the boat with one hull out of the water (flying the hull). |
