Trying not to pitchpole! Hobie 16 solo lesson

[@JJPanozzo1]

I’m adding a joyride trip with Joe to my bucket list. Thanks for these videos

[@JoyriderTV]

It's on. When you get here, let me know and we'll get out there!

[@Kirmo13]

Pitchpoles are definitely the scariest part of cat sailing. Thanks for the video!

[@JoyriderTV]

I hope this will help in some way.

[@crest2471]

Love the new camera and audio setup

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks! I won't be using the side pole cam every time but the audio will be a regular feature.

[@chrisbeauchamp5563]

Great video Joe your handling skills always amaze me 🙂

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks 👍It all comes from a miss-spent youth!

[@martinlarsen6752]

Great video, liked escpecially the last bit about how going downwind. Could you do a video explaining a bit more about depowering going downwind. I havent really mastered full control yet going full speed downwind, so it can sometimes a get a bit scary :D Would be nice with some clear pointers with steering and sheeting combined with angles to the wind.

[@JoyriderTV]

Great suggestion! I'll look into it.

[@tammielattman3314]

Good one, nice to heat that I’m not the only solosailor who gets a bit ”nervous”at times….

[@JoyriderTV]

You and me both!

[@robertosgood961]

Any help I can get ahead of my first solo H16 joyride is appreciated! Thanks Joe

[@JoyriderTV]

You're welcome!

[@haydenm.3912]

The audio though! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JoyriderTV]

I'm so pleased with it.

[@RustyFineOutdoors]

Awesome brings back memories

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks!

[@peterfriedl6206]

Looks like a brand-new Hobie

[@JoyriderTV]

It's a well maintained 2014. That's the great thing with these boats - they stay new for a long time!

[@mattkilbourne4654]

Good stuff, thanks!

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks

[@albertkunerth6883]

3:45 I do not understand pitching force transposed in healing force . And what did you do excactly . Great video. Thanks !

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks, I'll respond to your question in Friday's Q+A Cheers

[@thomasmaier7053]

Sketchy gusts, intimidating indeed.

[@JoyriderTV]

Yep. Good to push the envelope occasionally

[@youneselaoufir7795]

Hi Joseph, how do you make this cool visualization of the speed data?

[@Kirmo13]

He already made a video about it. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZy2hpSji6yCiZI

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks @Mirko, yes, i've just discovered it. Works perfectly.

[@byrongibby]

Wouldn't it help to have reefed the main?

[@JoyriderTV]

Yes for sure, ideal would have been the 14 main. It wasn’t looking so fresh when I set off.

[@JulieAustin-rf8vt]

So if I don’t want to pitchpole then I depower the boat? then I bearaway but how come you you poke it up sometimes( headup ). So you only do this when bow is already under? Bit confused? I want to calm it down to stop this happening, so what should i do ( my crew are sat at the back)

[@JoyriderTV]

Hi Julie, I responded to your question in yesterday's Q+A. I'll just index the video now so that it's easy to find: kzbin.infopg03fnPkRcg?si=8lEhywxCNYT1t6i1

[@Joemamajoe6969]

Are trimarans allowed in show us your cat?

[@haydenm.3912]

Yes!

[@JoyriderTV]

Yes please!

[@Cbob64]

What is you GPS device?

[@JoyriderTV]

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 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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZqvaKmop7ecpas

NACRA!

[@JoyriderTV]

Ha, yes, pretty much any NACRA is less likely to stick the nose in than the Hobie 16. One day hopefully I can get a few here.
