⛵️Instagram / totaljoyrider BEGINNERS OR MORE EXPERIENCED CATAMARAN SAILORS, if you want to know how to sail upwind, tack, reach, sail downwind and gybe, here is a full guide.
I'm sailing here solo on a Hobie 16 as it is the most popular catamaran in the world and the Hobiecat, because of it being slightly more difficult to sail than most, requires good technique.

Joe your videos are always good, but this is gold. Super informative and took a lot of work to create. While there is no substitute for time on the water, content like this is mega helpful for beginners and intermediate folks like me. Thanks!
Thanks Scott.
I really wasn't sure how useful this would be. For me it was a shame that i forgot to hit the record button on the head cam for the light wind shots!
I love how you can see down to the ground in that light wind without any waves.
It never gets old! To sail in such a beautiful place.
Thanks for putting this video together Joe! When sailing on the ocean coast the winds are often light and shifty with moderate gust mixed in. This hit on a lot of notes for me.
👍
Great Job... and really worth the time You spend for putting it together... even I watched propably all of Your Videos there are always some tiny bits of information and tipps that become clearer and make more sense
Keep up the good work and have fun whatever You are doing
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, that one certainly took a while to both film and put together.
Thanks
As always that Video was Pure Gold. We had an Awesome Monsoon Season this summer so limited time on the Water this year. Final sail of the season is November 20th. Chris Picknally finally finished painting my Red Wildcat Jib so this was a nice refresher to hoist that baby!
Sounds great! I'm looking forward to seeing the next version.
Sorry that your water time was limited.
Another A+ video -- thanks Joe!
Glad you enjoyed it
This is rad
Thanks!!
Great subject 🎉
Glad you liked it
Excellent clip. Thanks.
Thanks!!
Really good videos mate. My buddy just got a Nacra 14 and I've never sail cats before only single hulls, so I'm cramming your videos so that I'm not totally clueless first time we go out :)
Good luck!
Great video! Very instructive. I´ll begin sailing in the next days, and here the wind is not strong - 5 - 15 knots.
Have fun!
I'm glad that the video was helpful.
SUPER helpful! I'm a new sailor and just got an old Solcat 18! Will be sailing on a mountain lake so there is sometimes very little to very inconsistent wind. Was wondering how I'd fair with my catamaran and everyone asks if I'll put a trolling motor on it. I've never seen a motor on a sailing cat before and this shows why- that you can still sail on very little wind with a cat. Thanks for the videos!
That'll be a good question for the Q+A
Tomorrow at 1730 Greek time.
Joe, way to go dude! Question, what watch do you wear when on the water?
For non - gps I wear a Timex Ironman Triathlon - i've been using them for a long time.
Reliable and durable and simple to use
These are the GPS devices that I use:
1 - Timex Ironman Global Trainer - very good as it’s really simple, you can customise what information you are being given so that you can use it effectively for different sports. Now discontinued but you can find them on ebay. I just had a quick look, this is the best deal i could find:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TIMEX-Ironman-Global-Trainer-GPS-ANT-HRM-Heart-Rate-Monitor-Running-Watch-NEW/372367506997?epid=1062700174&hash=item56b2d53e35:g:ZAsAAOSwq~tZXAIA
2 - Locosys GW60 - the official watch of the GPS windsurf speedsailing association. More complex than the Timex but you get more statistical data such as speed over 2, 10 , 20 seconds or 500 meters.
here is that one - www.locosystech.com/en/product/gps-watch-gw-60.html
Do you do anything with setting Batten tension pre sail for different wind conditions?
No, the battens should be just tight enough to take out any vertical creases from the pocket and so that they can't move. Any more is unnecessary.
Excellent tutorial as usual. Your light winds are normative for us. Lol
Ha! Yes, we're very luck here to have the full range
Great video thank you for posting, making adjustments with the gusts are you mainly using the main traveller or main sheet? and also when you're tacking (and the jib is backing) are you releasing the main sheet or the main traveller or both as you go about ?
Many thanks , Arty
I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
I'm using the traveller more like gears and the mainsheet for more regular adjustments.
I'll add your question to this week's Q+A - Friday 1600 greek time, it will be available as a regular video afterwards.
Great video explains a lot. How is the Anemometer are you happy with it?
It's very good, the only downside for me is that it's not waterproof so on the boat i had to keep it in a dry bag.
@@JoyriderTV Cheers mate I only got into sailing this year (Sydney) on a Hobie Island love it hence think the next step will be a 16. Spent 5 seasons in the Greek Islands in the 90's I should never have left you got my dream job mate! Keep up the great work your channel rocks.
@@theelephantseye Thanks!🤩
I am new to watching your videos I have a prindle 16. Your videos are very very informational. I've only sailed my new to me prindle catamaran once I have sailed a mono hull. Just curious why you don't split the sails and run. My only training was on a monohaul is this not a small catamaran maneuver?
We don't sail straight downwind as it's much less efficient - we are going fast by having a flow of air over both sides of the sails.
Thanks for all your vids Joe, they are super helpful! I'm getting used now to English sailing vocab as a french guy^^
How do you know whether a gust is coming or not though?
Hi Pierre,
I'll talk about this in tomorrow's Q+A
Cheers
Hi, good video as usual 🙂I'm looking for a good sailing watch with speedometer, can you recommend one? Which one are you using in this video? Thanks...

3 - The GoPro cameras since the 5 have in built GPS which as available to use as an overlay on the video.
4- On the Iphone I occasionally use the Strava app. This works well and you immediately get the mad of where you've been.
here is the video where I did a comparison between the different GPS’
Hobie 16 onboard - gps speed test
th-cam.com/video/oiL7vrrRioI/w-d-xo.html
sir, capitan, did you measure the wind relative, 6,5 knots?
Just the true wind - i didn't measure the apparent.
What's the minimum you recommend in order to have a little fun? Enough to make taking out the cat worth the effort?
This is a very interesting question. I'll even make a video on the topic once i'm back on the water.
In the meantime, i'll talk about this in today's Q+A
Cheers
Has anyone considered putting a two axis spirit level somewhere on the boat to help fine tune when the boat is sailing flat or is it good enough to just eyebqll it? I've spent the past two weekends learning to sail the Hobie 16!
Also, what's a good relatively inexpensive gadget for knowing the boat speed?
I'm not sure that anyone has ever done that.
On the telemetry overlay application there is a gauge that shows the angle of heel that is very interesting.

@@JoyriderTV Great info. Thanks!
In which wind conditions is it faster to go straight downwind than tacking downwind? Or is it always faster to tack downwind? I sail a Dart 15 in Southern Brittany.
In very light wind it can be faster to sail straight downwind.
I'll do some testing in different wind strengths and make a video .
@@JoyriderTV You are the best!!
