Well done to the team for an excellent set of instructional videos. Simple and concise to remove my family’s concerns before we charter a Lagoon40 next summer.
Love your instructionals on the Lagoon 42. It would be great if you covered in greater detail the process of sailing with the Code 0...rigging, furling, unfurling, trimming, etc.
??? Is it faster (speed overall) tacking or gybing on a catamaran. And yes I know gybing is in most water-sports faster but your loosing hight and have less downwind afterwards. Anyway how is it with such a "cruising" catamaran?
I’m curious about the self tacking jib. How do you adjust the foot of the sail?How do you adjust the trim in general? Is that something you can show on a future TH-cam video or, is it something you simply can’t do with a self tacking jib?
I have a new generic catamaran and/or trimaran hull design which i've call the ARC hull design. It is new/novel and therefore patentable. The hull is asymmetric. Though, for description purposes, it could be described as a variant of a conventional symmetric and a conventional asymmetric hull shape. Since, its shape is symmetrical above the waterline and asymmetrical below the waterline, the result of extending existing lines of a conventional symmetric hull at and below the waterline. This catamaran and/or trimaran hullshape is suitable for a range of craft from SAILING to small and medium POWER craft. SAILING: The hull's benefits for a sailing catamaran or trimaran are; *speed *pointing ability - VMG *no necessity for of dagger or centreboard *simple, flat panel design lines, ease of manufacture. POWER CRAFT: Benefits of an symmetrical hull shape without the negative characteristics such as; *speed of asymmetric shape *more balanced reaction to waves - less broaching *banks in turns To anyone with interest, designer or those wanting to make their own ply/epoxy boat.

How close can racing cats sail close-hauled to the wind (compared to mono hulls)? Are there any disadvantages to the “square top” mainsails? Does a high aspect ratio cat compete favorably. to a monohull for upwind sailing?
Hi Vincent, I think it will depend on the make and model. Have you watched this video yet? th-cam.com/video/ZeAceEFSHCQ/w-d-xo.html This goes further into the rig design compared to monohulls.
@@TMGYachts Thanks for the quick reply. I’m a numbers oriented guy. I’ve reviewed your suggested videos.👍 How close (ie what range) to the wind can a cruising cat optimized for up-wind sailing sail (< 45 degrees off the true wind or not)?. Monohull and Cats are both great designs and have their advocates and relative merits. Since neither rig predominates I must assume that both designs have merits. I just want to know how close to the wind and average cruising cat optimized for upwind sailing will go. I assume we’re looking at a high aspect rig and long dagger boards but that is an assumption based on mono hull designs with a deep keel. Thanks again, I recently discovered your channel and like its philosophy.
@@vincentstouter449 Hi Vincent, I would suggest that you have a look at the polars for the boat and the model you are comparing. As I said it is really hard to give you an exact number or even average as this will really depend on the make and model. If you would like the polars for any Lagoon models we can send these via email if you email us on tmg@themultihullgroup.com. Thanks again and we are glad you are enjoying our channel.
On the Lagoon 42, do you see folks installing screachers instead of Code 0’s to get better upwind performance in light airs? Or do most folks just turn on the engines if it is blowing
With the code Zero rig and pole that can be fitted on the Lagoon 42, a whole range of asymmetric sails can be used with the hardware on board, these include everything from Code O/Screecher through to a full asymmetric spinnaker depending on your preference and choice of sail wardrobe. Code 0/screechers can be used in very light wind for sailing upwind if the conditions are right however these are generally classed as downwind sails.
That’s not how I make pancakes, I use some of my “Sourdough discard” a cup of discard, two cups of flour, a third cup of sugar, teaspoon of baking powder, an egg, some salt, some baking soda, teaspoon of cinnamon, teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 and a half of whole milk a table spoon of coconut oil mix until soupy then use a quarter to a third cup for each pancake.
Great vid but it looks like this is aimed at seasoned sailors. Kept mentioning traveler, I dont even know what one is or why you are using it. This wouldnt help me sail a boat because its too advanced and takes for granted I know all the boat terminology and what they are used for.
I might argue that it WILL help you sail a boat- in that it is telling you that you have a little more research to do before you take command of one. Were you able to figure out that the traveller was the track that limited the movement of the boom? The boom is the horizontal member to which the foot (bottom edge) of the mainsail is attached. Hint: when it is your boat, you can call it what you want -until you have to talk to another sailor or order parts.
Thanks for your feedback, when we get the opportunity we may attempt to create a more basic video again, potentially on the correct terminology and what these sailor terms mean. We attempted to find a balance between teaching and over teaching and hope that the editing and arrows helped indicate while teaching you the correct sailing terminology.

Wow this is so kind! We are so happy that you are enjoying it so far!
From an avid Lagoon 42 video geek, this is just FANTASTIC! Please PLEASE make a series!!
Hi, if you haven't already seen we have a massive Inspire and Learn series with loads to watch and new ones coming out every month.
Well done to the team for an excellent set of instructional videos. Simple and concise to remove my family’s concerns before we charter a Lagoon40 next summer.
Thanks for your positive feedback Nick, enjoy your charter!
Very useful video. I'm about to go on a trip on a friend's cat but my experience has been almost entirely on monohulls so this has really helped.
I am new to sailing. This video was brilliant. Everything was explained in a way that a novice like me could understand. Great work!
We are so glad you found value in it.
Fantastic explanation. I had no idea how easy these were to Gybe - that autopilot makes this nice n easy 👍
Great Video.
Excellent
Great explanations and demonstrations.
This is so amazing - thank you! Subscribed, such good content.
Great video guys, thanks, I am a new enthusiastic cat owner. Really appreciate the tips, thanks. Adam

Such informative and well presented videos
Watched this again thanks so much your channel is great and now subbed (sorry I forgot to do that!)
Appreciate your kind response.
Great boat ;) and keep up the good work with the videos!
Thank you!
Thanks guys!
Love this video!
Thank you!
yup...understood about every third word
Great work team!

great...thank you
Very nice - now tack in 25 knots with 2 meter rollers with a period similar to the length of the vessel
I’m curious about the self tacking jib. How do you adjust the foot of the sail?How do you adjust the trim in general? Is that something you can show on a future TH-cam video or, is it something you simply can’t do with a self tacking jib?
Hi Calvin, this will be covered in our next two videos, where we get specific about upwind and downwind sailing. Make sure you are subscribed!
Great. Instruction. Thank you. :-)

Can I get one on one training on my boat?
Please get in touch at tmg@themultihullgroup.com this way we can see if we can help.

You sail it just like any other sailboat.
That’s not how I make pancakes, I use some of my “Sourdough discard” a cup of discard, two cups of flour, a third cup of sugar, teaspoon of baking powder, an egg, some salt, some baking soda, teaspoon of cinnamon, teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 and a half of whole milk a table spoon of coconut oil mix until soupy then use a quarter to a third cup for each pancake.

He is explaining as if everybody knows everything. I would appreciate it if he would have come down in explained in layman's language.

@@TMGYachts thank you for considering my request.
Tapping out where he said catamarans don't have boom vangs. Rubbish. That catamaran doesn't but good catamarans do.
He's just a salesman trying to impress with nonexistent skills.
