Thank you Miranda ! I did this alone sometimes, made me completely exhausted.

That's nice work. I do a similar manoeuvre in West Africa. Except, I am sailing a Mono-hull lightning class (6 metres length).

Leaving the tiller extension hanging over the stern can damage it if it catches in the sand. Better to tuck it underneath one of the hiking straps or the lashing that holds the spinnaker ratchet blocks.

Wow, it looks like so much fun 🤩 I must try it! How much is the max hull speed and how much degrees tack angle of this Tri?
@WetaTrimarans4 жыл бұрын
Not sure on the tacking degree, depends who is sailing it! Highest speed recorded 20.68 knots (38.30 km/h; 23.80 mph) by Tom Kirkman, USA

Nice job, kinda hard to that in Newfoundland in 5 degree C water, but then again that's where a dry suit comes in handy. Love sailing around home but it's some bloody cold if you get wet. How come you don't use mast floats?

Sorry three years late! You would need a massive amount of buoyancy to keep it at 90 degrees. Also it is so easy to recover from a capsize, we see no need for one.

How big of waves can you do this in? Presumably cant do it in 3ft waves???

Nice little tri, but why was it named of an ugly roach type bug?

Wētā are native to New Zealand and the long back legs look similar to the ama's.
