    SV Recovery in high wind.

    So I am running wide open and this kid tosses a stick right in front of the boat, looks @ me and smiles. My first thought was to pick up the little SOB and toss him out in the water. Not an option. The second thought wasd to go drop his old man in a heap...But no I just asked hin not to do that again while glaring and his looser old man. What happened was the stick caught the turn fin and pushed way back along with the rudder. I didn't catch it during the inspection. So next turn...over it went.
    Enjoy the clip.

      Punk kid is pretty harsh. Though we feel the same way, we lovingly refer to them as "Mister misters". As in "mister mister, can I drive your boat?? LOL

          In reference 6 to 9 year old yes. But a 13 or 14 year old kid should know better.

                              I'm with you on that one SJ, I'd be pissed too. I have three kids ages 6,9 and 12. They wouldn't dream of doing something like that. Sure like your retrieval boat!

                                      You may want to upgrade the tug powertrain, its going to see lots of use recovering that boat when the pressures on.

                                                  Nice retrieval.

                                                  Judging by how far the boat is out there, he's got one hell of an arm! Maybe his dad should have put a baseball in the kids hand and played catch with him!
