Looks like a pretty wet ride.

Your downhaul attachment/system is incorrect for the 16.5.

[@MrJpmerlin]

Thanks for your comment and your help. What is your suggestion, or how could we correct it

[@TomKirkman1]

It is supposed to have a 2:1 system. You have a line from the mast base connected to a Ronstan Shock Block, then another line from the mast base with a free end. The free line goes up and through the sail tack grommet, then through the shock block and back through the tack grommet. When you pull it, the shock block will most likely come up and through the grommet and then the free end is cleated in the clamcleat that is attached to the port side of the mast near the bottom.

It's terrible how much water rises on the deck while sailing on a river or lake. At sea, it looks like a real submarine, low bow, but small, shallow, they don't come out of the water, you just wait for them to completely dive.

[@TomKirkman1]

They are designed to run bow down stern high. This reduces windage and offers greater speed. All modern trimarans are designed this way.

... too much wind for the sail area and the boat, not set very professionally ...
