But I thought mirrors capsized more often----maybe not.
As for righting the GP----the mast stuck in mud then the wind blew the
upturned hull and forced it further into the mud so I could not get it
free. Motorboat had to pull the GP out of the mud before we got it
righted.
Sorry but no, can't take on any more boats! Own a topper, have use of GP,
hire out a cat now and again for a real treat. If I had the money I
would probably buy a cat and terrorise every fisherman on L Erne---half of
them are bloody menaces out on boats with engines anyway, just as well a
Hobie 16 is generally much faster.
