You're right about getting wet. Being so low to the water is feels like every splash ends up in your face.
The AI with no ammas is a good boat. It's long n fast, but not too stable.
I took my AI out at the shores 4 times. 3 of the 4 trips the wind didn't blow hard enough to give me the "free ride" back that I hoped for. The trip I did get to sail back was super fun. There was a good WSW blowing so I was able to run the fastest tack all the way back from the NW corner. The best part was that the wind direction allowed it to wrap around the point in to the cove. So I was able to keep on the same optimal tack thru a greater than 90° turn. About 1/2 way thru the turn I cleared the point. The wind actually increased while the chop was cut off. It felt like when you're water skiing around the outside of a sharp turn and going much faster than the boat. Never felt any thing close to it. Draw back was that a life guard chased me down on a jet ski cause I was to close to the swimming area. Mike
