I wish there had been things like go pro cameras when I sailed Hobie's through the '90s. Lots of great times that live now only in my memory. Great video!
Thank! We're so lucky these days with the available Technology. Just 15 years ago I had the first 'action cam' called the Oregon which at the time we saw as a miracle, now the footage is unwatchable!
Can't thank you enough for posting this. Have the sound off, listening to Boz Scaggs "Lido." Used to do this ages ago. A spinal injury keeps me tied down right now - but until I'm completely and totally healed... THIS is SO great! thanks again.
Brings memories.My girlfriends dad had a Hobie 16 in my teens. A boat following us clocked us at 2o MPH with two person crew. about 10 yrs ago or so I met that guy Suares who became Hobie International Champ on H16s in the Caribbean. Awesome video. Enjoyed it.
I had an 18 and had a hard time finding others to sail out in the ocean with me. Then I bought a 17 which I truly loved. Fast single handed sailing with no pitch polling, just punched thru the waves. I had to give up because I had no where to store and when I did find a place some kids played on my mast and broke the comp tip. Last week I picked up a free 16 on Craigslist. No sails and a small punched hole in one hull. There are a few other issues, but hopefully, I can get this back on the water wih some work and TLC. If there is anyone who has an extra descent set of sails I can pick up at not too much money let me know. I need a few other parts to bring this one back to life. I hated seeing this boat disregarded. I wasn't even planning on getting another boat at that moment although I had been drooling every time I saw one sailing.
I had the lucky Chance do go out with Joe on the Hobie 16 a few days ago. Even we stayed slightly underneath the 23 kts - it was breathtaking and an unforgetable experience - everyone should put this kind of a speed-ride on his bucket list. Good Luck to all of You to have the chance to go out with Joe on a Joyride Three Thumps up - even if I have only two - and Joe... Good Luck breaking Your personal record -have fun gowing for it and share the results if possible ... looking forward to our next joyride!!!
Back in the 70’s as a teenager I had a 14, and my next door neighbor had a 16, then an 18. We launched off the beach in Malibu, through the surf both directions, so much fun. Love ocean sailing Hobie cats!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Aries Gregory i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
wow!. I am new to sailing. I just did my first successful tack yesterday by learning the feel and learning how to gain speed before the tack. I am not ready for hobie 14 yet. wow!
Does the 14 even have a jib, the one I sailed in Mexico had no jib and no boom and it was actually much more difficult to turn than my Hobie 18 which I sail solo sometimes with no problem.
That's what I like about this; It's You, The Boat, and The Wind; It's like a "Tug o' war"; You're trying to get the most out of that boat... The feeling is so Great!!
definitely the fastest hobie 16 sailing i've seen so far on youtube. maybe the fastest ever, good job men. it takes nads to let the boat go that fast. a pitchpole at that speed would probably result in broken parts yours and the boat
Pounded my Hobie 16 hard back in the eighties and my mate Peter Treschman on jib failed to walk back keeping the driving hull from diving and we went in hard, and he got dunked like a tea bag. Good times! Thanks for the memories. Fun!
So my friend and I have sailed his Catalina 22 on a number of occasions and it's always been a good time. One day recently I mentioned that I always wanted to get a Hobie 16 and he says, "Hey, I've got one. Had it for years. It's been sitting under some trees for like 15 years. Want it?" I'm like, "hell yeah!" So I snatched it up for a mere $250. Actually he didn't want anything for it at all but I said, "Look, I'll get $300 from the ATM (maximum they'll give you in one day) and I'll take us both to lunch and you give you the rest. He agreed. So I've been restoring this amazing boat for a few months. It's an older model, from somewhere in the '70s so it's a classic. This weekend it finally goes in the water. I can't wait!! When I started I didn't know a trampoline from a trapeze but your videos are what made it possible and I totally appreciate you and your amazing videos!! Thank you! Dan
Excellent, I'm really glad that the videos have been helping. I'd call this a success story! It'd be great if you'd like to show the Joyrider TV global community the results on Show us your cat!
with the 16 I don't measure the pressure with a gauge (like we would on F18 or Tornado) I get the pressure by seeing how easy it is to sheet so that the blocks are touching. For more explanation check out this one - th-cam.com/video/8D3Kv3ugPhY/w-d-xo.html
Hey Joe, nice video, but no cigar. the wind is about 12-15 knots ( typical light wind for greece i guess). Back in the day, for heavy weather, e.g. the first World Championships with 25 knots and 25 foot swells out past Diamond head for the down wind leg, we would rake the mast back 6 inches so fully sheeted the boom was down on the traveller, then drill a big steel bolt in place of the stock mast rotate stops, so the mast would swing 80 degrees each way in place of stock 60 degrees and bend like shit in the big gusts, flatten the sail like a pancake, and stay upright, we would install foot loops at the aft end of hulls with righting line from same point for crew to hang onto. crew would be in skippers lap, with crews left foot on rudder case on starboard tack, and when the 25 knot gust came, the jib would not be sheeted at all to avoid pitch pole, tks for the memories! Anthony A 2 x Thai Hobie 16 National Champ Competitor, 1st Hobie 16 Worlds, Waikiki, Hawaii, Nov 1976
Awesome run and great job not pitch poling! So I'm assuming that was 23.8kts? That is screaming fast. What year is the boat and any notable upgrades? It'd like to see a solo top speed run so I have something to aim for!
+Multi Hull Sailing Top speed on this run was 23.8 knots. The top speed that we've had is 24.8 - that was pretty crazy. Single handed the best i've done is 20.4 knots. We've upgraded our boats with the new EPO3 rudder blades which improve the control at high speeds. The boat in the video is from 2014.
It's been a constant battle to keep clean. When it's not so hot the water seems to bead off no problem, more tricky when it's very hot and the salt sets on the lens. I use regular thumb swipes - seems to be the only thing that works. I got some Clarifi - which is meant to help. Results yet to come in.
How many miles off the beach do you sail for approximately. I seem to remember at cosmos windsurfing several years ago and the gybe round marker was some small building on the side of the mountain on the right side facing out, not certain how far that was actually though?
It is a Timex, now discontinued but you can still find on ebay - here's one - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TIMEX-Ironman-Global-Trainer-GPS-Speed-Distance-Heart-Rate-Monitor-Running-Watch/372367506997?epid=1062700174&hash=item56b2d53e35:g:ZAsAAOSwq~tZXAIA
@@JoyriderTV Thank you for answering me so quickly I'm asking you because it's been 2 weeks since I went from a Hobie Cat 15 to a Hobie Cat 16 and I would like to compare even if we feel it already well, the gap speed between the two boats.
Maybe dinghy sailors? From a few previous comments some thought the title of the video was misleading, although at the time there wasn't any evidence of anyone going faster.
Joseph thanks for the great videos! I would like to see you do speed runs on a Supercat 20. Back in the 1980’s in San Diego I saw one with a triple trap setup plus a skipper- man was it fast!
Yes, if the crew had been a bit more 'active' on the jib sheet we could have notched up a bit more speed. The reason it was flapping slightly was that it was better for it to be slightly loose than too tight.
So I have an old hobie 16 and I live among a bunch of small lakes. Would it be wise to just use the jib for leisurely sailing oe should I always go with both sails?
I would guess that a trapeze line can hold the weight of anyone who is agile enough to move out onto it. 150kgs - just a guess - i'm 100 and have never had a problem.
Great vid - you guys were spanking her hard. About the sail trim: the main is easy but the jib? Where was the clew? About even with the corner casting? The car looked closer in...
opwan2002 i use a Timex Gobal Trainer GPS watch which works very well. The speed was just a top speed, i think for a proper record it needs to be over a set distance.
Hard to tell if Hairfarm's comment is smart or dumb. If he's never pitch-poled a Hobie, then it's dumb. If he has, then he'll know that your fastest point of sailing is with that leeward keel a millimetre from digging in, at which point it is a risk/speed trade-off...
Man I love the H16! I have two myself. I actually attach Trapseats to either side of the H16 so those with disAbilities can sailing the H16. I will post a video of this at funtosail.com . I also posted both of your high speed videos at my site also. As usually your videos are awesome. So what camera and gps models are you using?
For these videos i was using a Gopro Hero 3 black set to 1080, since then I have upgraded to a Hero 5 which i still set to 1080. I use two different GPS' my old faithful is a Timex Ironman Global Trainer which is very good although it can take a bit of time to find the satellites, my other is a LOCOSYS GW60 which is good as it gives the average speed over different distances as well as the top speed.
We use a DJI Phantom 3 standard which is good although signal loss is a problem , I think the more recent models are far superior - i suppose it depends on how much you want to spend.
I kind of figured that. I think the GoPro drone is awesome to. I understand they are currently working on an even newer model to improve it even more. Having a drone that uses the GoPro is a big plus.

Awesome video. You really nailed the thrill of Hobie 16 Sailing
opwan2002 thanks, there's nothing that delivers better than the 16.
Amen Brother
+Joseph “Joyrider TV” Bennett yeah, but if you are a lone sailor, with no help, then the 14 is better, right? thx
+yztyzt1 the 14 is designed as a single hander but is much more difficult to sail due to the very low volume hulls.
Does the 14 even have a jib, the one I sailed in Mexico had no jib and no boom and it was actually much more difficult to turn than my Hobie 18 which I sail solo sometimes with no problem.
That's what I like about this; It's You, The Boat, and The Wind; It's like a "Tug o' war"; You're
trying to get the most out of that boat... The feeling is so Great!!
The 6 to 1 purchase for pulling in the mainsail is just enough for an even match!
reminds me of the time we flew our Hobie 16 in San Fransico. We had 3 on board, all of us hanging to keep her flat
Mary Hurlbut rad!
Yessss, it's on fire !!!!! Well done guys !!!
definitely the fastest hobie 16 sailing i've seen so far on youtube. maybe the fastest ever, good job men. it takes nads to let the boat go that fast. a pitchpole at that speed would probably result in broken parts yours and the boat

Me pregunto como aguanta tanta presión la zona del pasador de los obenques. How many pounds of pressure on the shrouds? Amazing video.
with the 16 I don't measure the pressure with a gauge (like we would on F18 or Tornado) I get the pressure by seeing how easy it is to sheet so that the blocks are touching. For more explanation check out this one - th-cam.com/video/8D3Kv3ugPhY/w-d-xo.html
HC 16: the most fun and exciting way to go sailing
Prindle 18 is MUCH more fun
I do slalom windsurfing, and tried nacra 17, 49er etc. All these are much more fast and fun than the HC16
Hey Joe, nice video, but no cigar. the wind is about 12-15 knots ( typical light wind for greece i guess).

+Jeremiah Jolliff this Hobie Sailing was in Vassiliki Bay on the Island of Lefkas in Greece. The boat was from Wildwind Sailing Holidays.
Nice! I've never been anywhere near that fast in my 18... but the real question is: how do you keep your lens so clear?!
It's been a constant battle to keep clean. When it's not so hot the water seems to bead off no problem, more tricky when it's very hot and the salt sets on the lens. I use regular thumb swipes - seems to be the only thing that works.

How much wind did you have there? Great sailing!
Thanks, wind was between 20 and 25 knots, great conditions!
owesome cuaaaais one of my favorites! looking for get my first hobie, do you know my best way to import him to my city in mexico ?
Hi, a friend of mine has a HC Tiger F18 for sale in Chile, if you are interested. Saludos.
How many miles off the beach do you sail for approximately. I seem to remember at cosmos windsurfing several years ago and the gybe round marker was some small building on the side of the mountain on the right side facing out, not certain how far that was actually though?

@@r3al733 I would say that the difference will be 'significant'
Great ride,,, but I really don't get why anyone wouldn't like this video !?!? Who in the world wouldn't want to be on that boat that day?
Maybe dinghy sailors? From a few previous comments some thought the title of the video was misleading, although at the time there wasn't any evidence of anyone going faster.
Ok that’s enough, can’t take it no longer. I’m gonna book me a week with Wildwind.
So fast?!? Love it! I have a Rs500, but it is not so fast like that!
5:55 what is that editing
yes - a poor attempt!
@@JoyriderTV Omg thanks for replying i am huge fan of your righting techniques
Weldone Joe...keep them coming.
Thanks
Joseph thanks for the great videos! I would like to see you do speed runs on a Supercat 20. Back in the 1980’s in San Diego I saw one with a triple trap setup plus a skipper- man was it fast!
Thanks for that. I would love to try a Supercat 20 but I don't have access to one. I'm not sure if many made it across to Europe.
Where is that place ?
Vassiliki on the island go Lefkas, Greece. It's pretty good for cat sailing.
What kind of watch have you got to measure speed ?
I'm using a Timex Ironman Global Trainer watch which seems to be quite reliable.
where it is ? vassiliki bay in ionian greece?
That's right!
Was the jib sail furling in a bit? If so, correcting that would yield more speed, wouldn’t it?
Yes, if the crew had been a bit more 'active' on the jib sheet we could have notched up a bit more speed. The reason it was flapping slightly was that it was better for it to be slightly loose than too tight.
Joseph Bennett
At that speed, that’s splitting atoms, trying to do too much might have resulted in an imbalance and a crash/dive.
from whitch way is the wind comming from?
On the really fast bits from the broad reach angle, the rest of the time beam and close reach.
the beam of dry ankles.
Beautiful location, where was this? 🥰
Wildwind, Vassiliki, Lefkas, Greece
What was the wind speed?
between 25 and 30 knots.
Where are you located? I want to come sail!
www.wildwind.co.uk On the Greek island of Lefkas.
Cool , what was the wind speed ?
it was something like 25 knots, maybe a little more in the gusts.
Where was this video taken?
+Robert Smith, Jr. wildwind.co.uk in Vassiliki- Greece
So I have an old hobie 16 and I live among a bunch of small lakes. Would it be wise to just use the jib for leisurely sailing oe should I always go with both sails?
Always go with both sails - with just the jib you won't be able to say upwind.
Joseph Bennett that would definitely be a problem then. Thanks
Where was this supersonic sailing session ? Woohoo !
+Glider FS at wildwind.co.uk vassiliki Greece.
Very (windy) beautiful !
+Glider FS And how much was windspeed ?
On this occasion there was around 25knots.
woohoo !
I'd like to kown, is it possibel sailing a hobie cat 14 with 2 persons?
If your combined weight is under 110kg then yes - anymore will be less enjoyable
this video is recorded in vasiliki [leukada greece]
Fantastic Run !
can anyone tell me if there is a weight limit on a trapeze line that hold you on the boat
I would guess that a trapeze line can hold the weight of anyone who is agile enough to move out onto it. 150kgs - just a guess - i'm 100 and have never had a problem.
Where's this filmed? Looks like vasiliki
It is Vassiliki.
Joseph Bennett Nice! Went there a few years ago, very windy
Amazing speed! Keep it up!
wow!! great vid!! good thing u dodn't pitch pole. .. it would have hurt at that speed
Great vid - you guys were spanking her hard. About the sail trim: the main is easy but the jib? Where was the clew? About even with the corner casting? The car looked closer in...
The sheets attached one down from the middle, car was all the way out then trimmed a little looser than the telltales were saying.
Awesome! This video is a masterpiece!
Thank you very much, you're very kind!
What watch are you using to record speed?
opwan2002 i use a Timex Gobal Trainer GPS watch which works very well. The speed was just a top speed, i think for a proper record it needs to be over a set distance.
Trying to decide on a GPS watch to wear on my Hobie 16. Between the 2 you have, which one would you recommend?
Sweeeeet!! That's the way to do it!!!!
my top speed is 26nd wifh windsurfing
Where is this?
Vassiliki, Lefkas, Greece
Joseph Bennett ok, thanks, looks like a great sailing spot, wish I had something like that around the corner.
Nice Video, keep going ;)
where is this ???
+Vince Gobel at wildwind.co.uk vassiliki Greece.
awesome!
Why don't they make them wider for more stability?
More modern boats are wider but the max generally is 2.6m so that the boat can still be pulled on the road.
whats the music at 0:03
I have no idea of where that came from, maybe a combination of different things I had heard that day.
mark ronson - uptown funk ft. bruno mars
Darude - Sandstorm.
Great vid.
Lol. "The beam of dry ankles"
Need to dry those bad boys at times!
Incredible!
Nice sailing guys
but it was going very fast :).
If you want to get more speed out of her then have the crew move a foot or two closer to the bow along the trampoline. Less drag that way.
thanks for the tip! I'll give it a go next time it's blowing hard.
Hard to tell if Hairfarm's comment is smart or dumb. If he's never pitch-poled a Hobie, then it's dumb. If he has, then he'll know that your fastest point of sailing is with that leeward keel a millimetre from digging in, at which point it is a risk/speed trade-off...
What a ride!
+Dom Munro not arf! The guy crewing must have had balls of steel!
Seems you don't really need foils; guys ;-)
Man I love the H16! I have two myself. I actually attach Trapseats to either side of the H16 so those with disAbilities can sailing the H16. I will post a video of this at funtosail.com . I also posted both of your high speed videos at my site also. As usually your videos are awesome. So what camera and gps models are you using?

By any chance are you using a drone for any of your videos. I am doing research on them to see which one to buy. Understand gopro has one now.
We use a DJI Phantom 3 standard which is good although signal loss is a problem , I think the more recent models are far superior - i suppose it depends on how much you want to spend.
I kind of figured that. I think the GoPro drone is awesome to. I understand they are currently working on an even newer model to improve it even more. Having a drone that uses the GoPro is a big plus.
Well trimmed boat.
Music in thé beginning is so good
I wrote it myself!
It's surprising the punishment Hobie 16s can take. Never wear out the sharp bottom edge of the assymetrical hulls.
Someone soon will put foils on a Ho16 and rum past 30 mph. Won't be long. I see Hobie came out with the Hobie Foiler.
Amazing....
Nice!
