Awesome Joe , great video , great information keep the videos coming we all learn so much from you in my opinion you are a one man walking encyclopedia when it comes to catamaran sailing I appreciate all the effort you put into making these videos.
Very thorough video Joe, thank you. This gives me a few tweaks for when I need to pause my joyride out on the water. One pause is when I have to empty the bladder, which is quite the procedure I have to say, especially when there is a lot of wind. There's probably a videos worth of technique there....lol.
Amazing video as usual Joe!!! This is very useful (multiple boats/wind strength examples) and I really appreciate the perspective of the start line at a race! Thank you!
Another very helpful video Joe ... thanks! I have an old Unicorn so I was interested to see how you dealt with this on the FX1 .... and I thought you were going to take the rudders off that 16 !!! ;) ... keep 'em comin'! :)
Hi. Really interesting video as I have never hove too with a cat. Just wondering why it is easier to snap a cat dagger board than a monohul. I have heard of lazer masts snapping but never a dagger board breaking. Is it that there is more force going through it or are they just not as strong? Thanks.
I'm not 100% sure but I'd assume it has something to do with how big the sail plan is on most cats compared to a laser or other small dinghies. That plus the fact that a monohull usually points higher when going upwind(when the board is completely down) compared to a cat. Overall, it seems like as long as you don't have your boards down when you are beam reaching, you shouldn't have a problem with them breaking as I've learned.
Great video, thanks!! Just wondering why to start sailing again you don’t correct the jib, traveler and main sheet as soon as you correct the rudders. You wait till it gets going first, why? Thanks again, greetings from the galapagos islands!
These are just guidelines. I was making it as straight forward as possible. Better to allow the boat to start going forwards again before engaging the main sail which would otherwise bring the boat back up into the wind.
Now what's missing is "How get on the boat - Heaving yourself on a moving Tiger" when you are hanging on to the front beam for dear life while the Tiger is moving with 4 knots. How to adjust the traveller and mainsheet the best before uprighting, maybe unhook the jib so there is no pressure on the bow pushing the boat away from the wind, where the trapeze should be, whether to push yourself off from the daggerboard, how to get your foot into the strap under the boom against the dolphin striker, how you can use the spinnaker boom to your advantage, get on breast first or back first, pushing you off with your feet from dolphin striker or spinnaker boom. What I can only recommend (and what I did at wildwind): train it with the boat on the mooring, not pushing off with your feet off the ground, to get yourself sorted out, have a procedure before doing it in the real thing. Without the trapeze hook, of course, we do not want to make any scratches.
Nice ! Will show us, how launch beach, with waves ?
That's tricky for me as we only have flat water here.
If i get the opportunity I'll put something together.
This is usefull thx. Would love to see you do a video on start and race tacktics, for cat match racing
I'll put it on the list.

I appreciate that!
A great response to a small question I had on the last Q&A! Will definitly try this out the next time it is applicable!
Thanks for the idea!
Fantastic, clear instruction!
Thanks!

Ha! Yes, some more technique videos there, depending on what you're wearing!
Hi Joe, just 2 Month’s ago I bought an old dart 15 and thanks to your video’s I learned how to do it. Thank you so much!
Glad to help
Great video!
Thanks!
This show me what I do wrong. Thank you very much Joe.
I'm glad that it's helpful, cheers.
Thanks Joe …very helpful. 👍
Thanks Frank!
Your explanations are so easy to follow. Good technique to know
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial Joe!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks! That was very helpful!
👍
Thanks a lot Joy! You are helping us a lot to become better!
Happy to hear that!
Another great video, it could easily be re-titled as “Beginners Mistakes” I’ve made plenty of unintentional stops during my tacks.
Yes, I think if you can stop intentionally it should help a lot with avoiding stopping unintentionally
Great tips! :D thanks Joe
No worries!
Excellent video tutorial. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! I'm glad that this was useful
Works every time. The boat will still drift with the current, but it'll easily defy the wind.
For sure!
It is perhaps worth mentioning that it is better to hove to on a starboard tack so that you are the stand-on vessel
Good shout - to avoid the bad shout!
Thanks!
Thanks very much! I'm glad that the video was useful.

Yes, I had to make sure that his extension was out of the way before the fly past!
Cheers
If possible, heave to on starboard tack since technically, your still sailing.
yes, good tip. It's essential in between races at a busy regatta.
Nice!
Thanks!

Good question! One for the q+a on Friday.
Hi Joe, how are the rudders positioned in a hobie 16 when using method 2 (tacking into a hove 2 position). Thank you
Across for a tack as usual and then, keeping the jib in the original position, turning them the other way once the jib has backed - all the way across
Great video, thanks!! Just wondering why to start sailing again you don’t correct the jib, traveler and main sheet as soon as you correct the rudders. You wait till it gets going first, why? Thanks again, greetings from the galapagos islands!

@@JoyriderTV ohh!! That’s why!!
Thanks!!
Can you somehow send me the raw footage of our Tornado trip, if you still have it?
🤩🚚👍
Hey Joe, I'm assuming the same applies to a 15, 16 or 18 Prindle, correct? Thanks!
Yes. Same principles for all cats
What angle to the wind are you approx when Hove to position? Is it straight into the wind or slightly off?
I'll explain in today's Q+A

Good idea to train before the real event. I've been putting this one off as it's going to be a really tough one!
stopped ---until the wind shifts ......
Ha, yes, for sure!
I used to sail my boat backwards and dock it. It used to confuse people.
It's one of my favourite manoeuvres
Am I correct in assuming one could heave to similarly in any trimaran?
Yes, the technique would be the same
@@JoyriderTV HalleluYAH Thank you brother
