Methods of attaching the capsize righting line

[@haydenm.3912]

What was the video you mentioned when saying "watch this video" to see the hawaiian method in action?

Yes, in the video that Luis linked. We did some on land testing.

[@stevenvachon9745]

There is also the stretch righting system that uses a hollow braided rope (about 20mm) with an internal shock cord. This is a very simple race class legal system that works great with raised trampolines. One end attaches the the rear pylon, wraps around the front two pylons then ties off to the other rear pylon. It stretch until the braided ropes limit then snap back when you let it go.

That sounds like a great plan, how have I not heard of that before!

im in quebec trying to rig a hobie 14 classic with a dolphin striker, darn near impossible to find parts! might have to macgyver something just need find the dimensions which are also elusive. Til then, that tidy knot will do, thanks a mil. love the info! btw, was watching in my yard with speakers, some neighbors walking their dogs would stop by and watch too. you got one of them hooked and they dont even sail lol!! great content and host! cheers

[@JoyriderTV]

Ha! New subscribers coming from all sorts of places. I hope that you find a solution. Cheers

[@tripleseven8361]

Joe...Could you perhaps provide a little further explanation as to how, or whether, the Hawaiian method is better than just using the line around the dolphin striker...Obviously. the rope is out of the way...That part is obvious, but are there any other benefits? Is the method of trying to right the boat the same...? Thanks...Peter

[@lucasbiasetton5446]

I'm also interested in this question! As my trampoline does not have pockets, this would make it easier for me to store the rope

[@tripleseven8361]

@@lucasbiasetton5446 ...and presumably, it would allow you to use the larger diameter rope that joe was referring to at the beginning of the video...

[@JoyriderTV]

I'll address this in the Q+A as well. This system is good as it's always there so if you are capsized you cut out one part of the process. Also it means that storage of the rope isn't an issue. The one down side is that you may occasionally catch the rope in waves or chop while sailing along. The difference in righting performance we looked into here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXmslH-ZbNWmqcU

[@JoyriderTV]

I think it's certainly a good plan

[@tripleseven8361]

@@JoyriderTV Awesome Joe...Thanks!

[@nacra_f18_pol5]

Joe and what about some modern f18 systems for e.x. C2 or nacra evo? Can you describe it? Thanks

[@JoyriderTV]

Yes, the C2 uses the Hawaiian style system where we have the rope permanently available under the boat for quick righting.

[@nacra_f18_pol5]

@@JoyriderTV Ok thanks! What is your's opinion what is better for 18/20? Which system is easiest to recover after capsize? :) Regards!

[@nacra_f18_pol5]

Ohh I found this!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXmslH-ZbNWmqcU and this vid explain me all :) Great job Joe! Again:)

[@originalfallinggirl]

Thank you so much Joseph 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. The first place I’m going after Covid is to Wildwinds!

[@JoyriderTV]

Good choice! I look forward to your visit - plenty of action and instruction to be had.

[@antoniovitale3531]

could be simpler to loosen the lenght ot the shroud upwind and after "closehawl" it again? I said that because in half an hour you can reach capsized,shallow waters with waves....and id not the best

[@JoyriderTV]

Yes, it is a method to make righting easier. The issue is with the potential for the mast base jumping out.

[@Pohlenzm]

Anyone know where I can get a replacement mainsheet Block and sheet set for a Hobie 14 turbo cheaply?

[@JoyriderTV]

I would keep looking on eBay Craigslist and those kind of sites. Blocks come up - just search for hobie cat mainsheet, catamarans mainsheet, etc.

[@Juanito_Peligroso]

A lot of channels talk about sailing but not many talk about capsizing.

[@JoyriderTV]

It seems to be the hot topic around here!

[@antoniovitale3531]

is possible add a video? as comment?

[@JoyriderTV]

not on here you could email me [e-mail]

[@schmidtfjs]

Shock Cord of 5 meters? That sounds long -- seemed like you only used about a half meter?

[@tripleseven8361]

I think he meant, the length of shock chord required to go from the rear of the boat , to the front...presumably, around the dolphin striker and back to the rear...Perhaps Joe will chime in...Maybe googling "Hawaiian method" will show the rigging...

[@schmidtfjs]

@@tripleseven8361 I think I get it now. At first I thought the shock cord just went to the ring and back to the stern beam. Now I get that it runs from front beam to back beam and remains connected all the time. Makes sense now.

[@JoyriderTV]

yes, that shock cord went from the ring to the back beam - to the dolphin striker and then back to the back beam. You could just go to the dolphin striker but i think that the stretch wouldn't be enough.
