Just checking up on the board and thinking about sailing yesterday. Five people on the rail. Wind steady at 20 with gusts to 30. Temp about fifty. Strong sunshine. Just enough chop to throw a mist of spray into the cockpit. Screaming along under just a partially furled genoa at just over six knots hard to weather. We did just shy of twenty miles in four hours.

Damn I love my boat. Just thought I'd share.

Great post, Justin! Perhaps someday soon for me as well although I did take the H-16 out last weekend in 18 knts from from the South in 83 degree air and almost 70 degree water, very warm for this time of year even in North Carolina. All I had on was a shirt and shorts with the harness. Just add about 13 knts to the speed! Heh..the benefit of very little drag when the winward hull is out!

This was taken in bit warmer water later in the season, a few miles offshore. I am ready to trade most of this in for what YOU have! I'll keep my Hobie but plan on spending more water time in a Catalina perhaps, if all goes well. Regardless, your post put me there! Can't wait.

Hey, Kelly....I printed out a copy of your Catalina sailing to weather and taped it to the wall behind my desk in my classroom. All the kids (who notice) ask if that is my boat. I tell them no but that is the way it looks and feels when having sailing fun!
Great shot

Thanks for the compliment, Gary! I only wish I
could take credit for owning that boat or taking
that shot. Alas, it was only my Photoshop re-size,
drop shadow, and text. The original shot is resting
in the C25 photo archives at a cool 800 pixel width!

Robert's C25 is definitely my favorite Catalina action
shot in the gallery. That is my Hobie 16 you see above,
and I am hoping to procure a small cruiser such as the
C25 to do some dry sailing exploration/cruising this
summer. Every time I read a comment like Justin's, it
fuels my desire all the more!

What an excellent picture Razor's Edge makes. Easily the best of the lot and much better than any promo shots from Catalina.

Indeed. By far the best sailing shot on this site. Now Justin needs to get some action shots of his rig.

If anyone has NOT seen the original, 800px shot of <i>Razor's Edge,</i> please see the link below:

There are some other good pics but that is easily the most flattering angle combined with the best conditions.

great pics! I begin sailing on a Prindle 16 some 20 years ago. I still remember the thrill of flying that hull. Now the thrill is beating to weather without spilling my beer, the more things change the more they stay the same!

I have always liked the "Razor's Edge" pic. I put it on the cover of my boat book until I get an action shot of our boat.
