A naked, unhinged man jumped into a small dinghy at a Manhattan marina Saturday and took off in the Hudson River before jumping onto a moored catamaran as cops pursued him by air and water, police said.<\/p>\n
The very fit looking 40-year-old Brooklyn man hopped into the smaller, dinghy sailboat at the Dykman Street Marina\u00a0around noon\u00a0after employees there kicked him out because he was acting erratically, cops said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The nautical loon was fully clothed at the time, but then returned completely naked a few minutes later, police said.<\/p>\n
Before the employees could stop him, he allegedly jumped into the dinghy and sailed out into the river, cops said.<\/p>\n
But the NYPD\u2019s Aviation and Harbor Units were quickly notified and went looking for him, cops said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
