Is there ever a circumstance in which you've fallen off? Seems kinda scary to think you can fall off and your boat just keeps chugging along without you lol

I want to get into this but idk where to start, if I took sailing classes would it be more beneficial to get into catamaran training specifically, or does it not matter functionally and I can train on any monohull dinghy and then hop on to a cat and pick up this? I feel like this would be a good hobby to keep me in relatively good shape, my wife would be down for it I believe but she suffers from some physical issues so I dont want it to be too physically demanding, figured the cat would be more stable than the monohull

Hi @joe, I wonder if you agree that one exception to the rule is the bear away at the top mark? I find that sheeting out transfers power to the top of the sail and causes nose-dive. Keeping the sail shape flat and releasing traveler instead seems to get around this problem. I'm sailing an F16 (Goodall Viper). May I suggest a video on this topic? I'd guess the technique might differ depending on the type of cat.

well done Dave :>>

I am getting my hobie 16 (Sea Sick Stine) ready for spring, and I'm being very mindfull of "liking" all your videos. Super great content couldn't do without - cheers from DK 🇩🇰

Wohoo! That's my buddy and I on his Nacra 5.8 on the thumbnail for E131 at 1:17!! @JoyriderTV I'll be sending you my new boat + updates to our fleet to be feautred soon!!

2:39 That's what my old girlfriend used to say

separate lists I think especially if you are including monohulls

Joe I sold my Honbie 17 and bought a Corsair 600 pulse Tri - Its not a Cat , am I still able to lodge a speedstick

Thanks Joe....epic work on the speed stick this year.....now I need a foiling cat to be on top of the speed stick....

Seperate Stick

Royal battle in Vasiliki makes sense, since "Vasiliki" in English is Royal, in deed..

Just wait til one of the sailgp teams report there speed😅

I love seeing the boats and hearing about people from around the world! Thank you Joe!

Thanks Joe for gathering and sorting. That’s a whole lotta time at the keyboard. Let’s get to that lake in Australia, only no crocs and other deadly Australian animals not invited. Congrats to the solo Aussies. In the vernacular of the late 60’s - That is truckin’. (ask your dad what that means)

I am always impressed by the speeds you and others are doing on the non foiling boats. Seperate classes is an idea. You could also score them by rating (like the Texel rating). Last year a Hobie 16 won the Round Texel. The Nacra's 20 ft FCS had line honours. Closely followed by the F18 Goodall. I hope to be on the water soon with an IFly15 with a bigger than standard rig. If succesfull I will send you a video for the speed stick.

Hey I’ve been sailing a laser for years and I’ve just gotten a mosquito and I was wondering if you could pump on a catamaran or is it just a mono thing?

Amazing

Hi Joe, I'm new to sailing and started sailing the maricat 4.3 and nacra 5.0. Why you wouldn't just pull the traveller in for more power and adjust the main sheet from there? And I also noticed that you ran the main loose from the boom, is there any reason for this? I have just run it tight the whole time I sailed it. Thanks

The way he flew like 13 feet tells me he was going fast😅

Sheaves for sure.

I'm thinking about going to epo3 rudder.. someone said they are too stiff for pre 2000 cats.. and how much more speed ruffle can I expect to gain....

All the best for Dusseldorf! 🎉you ll win their hearts and minds 😊

Will be watching you're upcoming video using traveler to depower on an F18. Would be cool to have a camera on the leach.

Awesome, exactly what I've been looking for. Did you get the mono or stereo version?

heyho, thank you very much for your great way of imparting knowledge to us, have a great time, best regards

What about bolt in mast step and putting down the mast at closer angle to trampoline just imagination here ,no try. Option 2 little bit od water in to hull to get the angle, Option 3 , carry like an ladder , under trampoline ... funny but might wotk. and the last one , self inflatableX on top of mast

Great but shoulda let the main out...

what ever happened to the Topper ?

I moved from a hobie 16 to an F18 ,, and until today I will say the Hobie 16 is the best boat ever made

EZ Righter system

Instead of criticizing Sam and telling us what you would do. Why don’t you do it??? Just another 💩 talker trying to make a name for yourself off somebody else’s work Parasite

Does this apply for the downhaul too?

Im 21 years old brazilian, i never had any form of contact with sailing all my family ( including me ) are on the aviation industry somehow during the pandemic my dad had this crazy ideia to buy a 27ft sailboat so we can actuality go outside a litle, it was strange at first, we lived on the boat for about half a year we made a lot of friends for life and i learned that sailors are the most heartfull people in the world, we learned the basics ( after all sailing and flying the airplane are kinda similar in the physics aspect ) and i fell in love i fell in love so much Unfortunately brazilian currency is devaluing and we had some problems that made us sell the boat. Fast forward 3 years and my dad want to retire and move to the beach where he can buy a sailboat again and i am SUPER excited, BUT any of us remember and didn't learned how to sail properly so i ( as the younger one ) am assigned to learn it so i can teach my parents, also i want a sailboat to enjoy sailing whenever i want, after all my parents are older and don't have all the energy to stay on the water all day😂 Now i have a new challenge, to buy / reform a laser or hobby cat. here in brazil, its a very nieche thing out here so it is ABSURDLY expensive, my sallary is not good but im saving all i can so i can sail again For now i just look at people on the water with a smile bc i know i will have one someday 🙂 (We treveled to the beach and the hotel is in the front of a marina so i see people sailing all day 😂 i got emotional here and decided to tell this long story ) happy sailing everyone

Jeepers, how much wind was that? I was scared just watching!

Can you take 2 people on one, or is it too small?

Love it I think that is maybe my second addiction in life I got started mid-80s H16 couple years later I found a really nice H18 my pure adrenaline Rush wore off after 20 years but you realize in that time you introduce somebody to regain the thrill.

Is there a strategic reason to fly a hull or is it for fun show?

Great video! Just what I was looking for. New subscriber here from Texas. Thanks.

Where is this please?

which model of hobie car is this

Tried your tips they are great! THANKS BRO

what do You think about Vaseline( not too personall) just instead of sticky stinky grease , that leaves traiks in water, ( For eco geeks use... lard)

I wonder... is it possible to learn to sail by yourself? I was thinking about: 1.Study the sail points 2.Apply everything on the Tribord 5s. 3. When you are good on the Tribord 5s move on to an RS Zest or similar dinghy. 4. Learn from your mistakes, get wet, get wet and learn. 5. When you are ready you can move on to a larger boat like a Hobie .

Cant find a great place to ask this but low wind conditions might work . Do you ever sail downwind wing on wing or is it too prone to pitch pole? Also, does skulling the rudder move the boat forward if youre really in irons? Cheers

Can you sail wing and wing downwind or is it very prone to pitch poling? Cheers

what GoPro mounts are you using for your cap?

I hate doing this. The boat was not made for it

I think a rope loop, fitted permanently on the tiller might be a good idea
