⛵️Instagram / totaljoyrider IN lesson 2 we're looking at how to steer your boat upwind using the telltales on the jib and tacking.
Then sailing the boat downwind, steering using the wind indicators and gybing.

With such a clear and concise instructions, it is a pleasure to watch your videos. Joe, big thanks. It might be an idea to put subtitles for the ones who are not so advanced in English but still want to learn from your great videos.
Great suggestion! I'll do that with this one now.
This series is so well-timed for me... I'm just getting my first cat (although I used to race 420's). It's just nice to have someone break it down since it's a bit different.
I'm glad that it helped.
Jo, imho thats your Best video that clearly explains tacking and gybing Single Handed. Thanks a lot.👍🏻
Thanks! You're very welcome.
Great commentary Joe...I like how you explain everything as you go...a nice leisurely sail !
Glad you enjoyed it
You rock! Thanks a bunch Joe for another great video!
Thanks again!
Picking up a Nacra 5.8 as my first adult sailboat tomorrow - appreciate this series.
Good luck with your new boat.
@@JoyriderTV thanks! last time I sailed was sunfish as a little kid - just have to replace some sheets, halyards etc, and do one fiberglass patch and it will be good to go. will be sailing on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland - but wish I was in Greece haha! One day.
Super helpful Joe!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for doing these!
You’re welcome
So useful thanks so much for all you do
You are so welcome!
Very good video. I haven't found 1 sailor in 10 that understands how to set the jib and then steer to it via the telltales. Everybody seems to want to keep sheeting the jib in and out to match their poor course. It's about steering, particularly downwind with a spinnaker.
Cool, thanks
Thanks for your lessons! Really Master class
Thanks, i'm glad that they are helpful
Hobie makes a set of four "Super Jib Battens" which are more flexible than the stock jib battens. This virtually eliminates the jib getting hung up on the mast during tacks and gybes, particularly during lighter wind. Since I normally sail solo for several hours at a time in the Gulf of Mexico, the wind can change direction and speed as the day progresses (especially if an afternoon sea breeze forms), these jib battens make it so I don't have to fool with forcing the jib over by pushing on the lower batten. They are not "class legal" for racing, but then I have a solid aluminum mast (which is no longer" class legal" in the USA), so I am always "racing" any other boat (with or without a sail or motor) that is going my direction.
Yes, I can see how helpful that will be in the lighter winds. Definitely a good choice for people who are not racing in the official Hobie competitions.
Nice spot! Where is this bay?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!! I really enjoy your videos and of course your accent!! 😁
This is wildwind.co.uk in Vassiliki, Lefkas, Greece
Thanks!
Hi Joe, absolutely loving your videos, have learnt so much from you! Just a quick question, I notice that your main sheet (and traveller sheet) appear to be quite short. On our H16 we seem to have lots of spare sheet lying on the trampoline, so was wondering what length of sheet you use for the main? Thanks
Well spotted.
Our mainsheets, over time have somehow got shorter.
They are now measuring in at around 8m which is, for most people too short.
I would say that 9.5m - 10m is certainly long enough.
hay love the content, I want to tow my Hobie 18 behind a house boat. long distance, with out being on it. I have tried to tow it off the water one other time with little success. can you make any suggestion's
That's a great question for the Q+A on Friday
Thanks
I love your videos. I am a new sailor and have just purchased a used Hobie 16. My sails both main and jib have battens. Do you recommend battens or non battened sails for beginners.
If the sail comes with battens it's not going to work very well without - the battens are there to support the sail - i'll talk about this in the Q+A
Hi Joe,
I like your watch band. Could you put a link onto your Amazon page.
Thanks Herbert

How's it going man. I've just found your channel. Great stuff, thanks. I've never sailed before and have just started to build my first boat; a 12.3 ft fishing kayak sailing trimaran with full length pvc pipe outriggers. Your free lessons, to call a spade; a spade, are invaluable. Do you have any videos where you show what it's like to go overboard, what the sails do, how far away it might be in various winds before she turns into the wind and slows up, obviously that's dependant on a lot of factors, but, say....light wind, strong wind and somewhere in between? I've watched your video on rightsizing (?) A catamaran, have you any tips relating to a small trimaran? Or could you direct me to any books or resources with regard to building one; weight distribution, optimal outriggers distance and so forth? I'd be more than happy to throw you a few quid on Patreon or whatever. Either way, many thanks.
I've got no experience with trimarans - i would think that the techniques would be the same. And no idea on building one - I think you'll need to go on a google journey for that.
For the man overboard situations, I've made a number of videos:

@@JoyriderTV thanks for the speedy reply. I'll get to watching these.
Great video! One question: You're saying downwind the wind indicators should run across the boat (90 degree angle of apparent wind). That means you are on a beam reach, right? Wouldn't a broad reach (apparent wind 45 degrees from behind) be even more efficient/faster?
The apparent wind for the broad reach is that 90 degree angle. Any further downwind and you're only using one side of the sails. It's also explained in this video - th-cam.com/video/xsxMlbjEm-k/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dear Joseph ! What about paddle or aleutian or alaska paddle is against the jamping in the cold water? Your opinion ?
Hi! Sorry I don't understand what it is that you're asking.
Can you go wing on wing down wind?
That video will be coming up soon.
That real nice water. Not like uk hay.
Yeah, it's a sailors paradise out here
So you could use a friend on your skiff for more than just as an anchor, huh.
Absolutely!
