I got hooked on the Swan once. Guys trolling for something and even though I was well upwind of them I only saw they had the rods out fairly late and then noticed the line snaking up my mast in front of my eyes ! I crashed bailed and realised the silver twisty lure was snagged in my rashie thank god not my skin. They came back and threw me some pliers which promptly feel into the river. They cut the line and took off and I sailed back with a new Halco lure for my collection. Could have been ugly. I now look very closely at any boat going slow in the Swan and sail a long way upwind of it.
