DONT BUY Joysway Binary RC Radio control sail boat yacht catamaran until you have seen this fail

[@indulger]

To tack, try turning off the wind (to a broad reach) to build some momentum before swinging it back into the wind around. If the rc controls will let you, bring the sheet/sail in simultaneous to you turning into the wind and you may have a better time tacking without getting caught in irons. (I guess you might have to wait for the spring to give any of this a try).

Yeeeees - I sailed a Hobie Cat 400 miles from Lands End to Lowestoft - so thank you for the sailing tutorial.

Those hulls are designed to pop up out of the water, I am pretty sure those corks would have made it more prone to capsize, since they would drag and tip it when your cat started leaning a bit, and add weight too. Great video footage, thankyou.

[@greenstripeypaint]

have you ever sailed one? They might have been designed to pop out - but they don't - and it capsizes. My version two has much bigger outriggers. They work fine and save it every time.

Well if you can’t sail!!!

[@ColinMill1]

I understand the version 3 has some anti-capsize trick built in that lets out the sheets if the angle gets "interesting". Not sure if it works as I can't find a video of it in action.

[@macrumpton]

You were afraid of capsizing, so you added more weight to the top of the mast and you added 2 trippers to make sure that the front end dug into any waves that were in front of it. kudos

[@greenstripeypaint]

What's your solution oh wise one?

[@macrumpton]

@@greenstripeypaint I guess I would go with a shorter mast to put the center of effort lower, and if you are going to add something to the front, extend the hull shape forward 4".

[@MichaelCampbell-kn7ev]

the corks on the bow are a bad idea, they will likely plunge into a wave stop suddenly you stop and the apparent wind swings aft causing alot of sudden capsizing moment

[@greenstripeypaint]

Everybody is an expert. I see your channel has zero content. How many experiments have you done investigating this?

[@nyniaan]

You can counter the tendency to pitchpole/bury the bow by adding a LOT of rear mast rake - yours is straight up and on any catamaran this is a recipe for disaster. I'm certain the Joysway instructions don't say anything about that...

[@kyu9826]

I do agree .

[@MMare-kb6ig]

Yeah, they are known for lower quality boats that are cheap, couple of hundred dollars...but if you are a total beginner without a budget, that is ok. ;)
