I can't stand PWCs myself and many PWC operators are the worst mariners i have ever come across. tillerman, i couldn’t agree with you more.

My first sailing experience was on a Hobie 16 in Pamlico Sound with winds only slightly less stiff. We pitchpoled twice and capsized on a jibe (all in about three hours). We didn't have to get rescued though... especially by a jetski ;) I guess Elie is going to have to hone his stiff wind sailing skills a bit!

Anyone can forgive you for letting your buddy go off on his own, can forgive him for capsizing, can admire your efforts to save him... But having a jetski come to your rescue -- that is the worst, most shameful, most embarrasing thing that could happen to a sailor. Never let it happen again!
