Sailing demo: powering up & down without furling on a Hobie Tandem Island.

Powering and depowering on the Hobie TI without furling. It's a bit of an advanced sailing skill but handy when you don't want to furl/unfurl in some conditions. #hobiekayak #sailing #watersports ‪@HobieOfficial‬

Love the sail and excellence narration. Keep the TI videos coming!

[@AnyTideAnywhere]

Thank you.

"When in doubt, let it out." Meaning, if you're overpowered (or things are just going wonky) let out the main = sheet out. Great video.

[@aaronshenk1365]

I found that if you tie your main sheet and furling sheet together it makes it much easier to manage the lines especially in stronger winds. Looking forward to future videos.

Great tip!

I got a longer main sheet, tied the ends together, then tie the furling line aft of that knot. That way you can get complete control from either seat.

Yes, I've been doing that since my first Island in 2009. Less rope confusion!

Almost adopted a TI this spring. But opted to increase our smaller boat armada instead. Next year.

Sheeting in or out, does the same thing as changing course more on or more off the wind. Decide which is more important - holding the same course or not.
