Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I spend most of my time cooking but I need to get back to sailing! To answer your question about the cradles. I bought mine from Hobie. Glad you found the videos helpful! I find that putting the TI on a trailer to be the best way to move it around. I like to sail in lakes on warm days! Let me know if you have any more questions.

+grantcarsonsmail Hi Grant. Glad my video helped you out. Could get interesting out there is your lines are wrong! Enjoy sailing! Thanks for watching!

+wendy superfan The brand is Ruffwear and I bought it at REI.

+Dylan Zrim It's a great boat! I prefer lakes to avoid the sharks!

+The Imaginary Gallery Thank you!

+Thomas Cullen Lol!

Hi, yes I have a video that will show you that. Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/SYBO08_1xKI/видео.html I hope this helps you! Thanks for watching!

Nice! Not sure what a Montgomery 15 is but have fun out there! I'm a more fair weather sailor. Do you go out this time of year?

Hi Patrick, 20 mph winds and a sail out 2 ft. can get pretty exciting! Glad i was able to help you out. It happened to me once tho not as exciting an event as yours but nonetheless a mistake that you won't let happen twice! I hope you enjoy sailing your TI as much as I do. Where are you sailing your boat with that kind of wind? I stick to lakes mostly.

Rockin Robin Sails Sorry, for the late reply. Had been on vacation with TI, first on Lake Michigan and then to the Outer Banks, NC during hurricane Matthew. The Hurricane was originally not supposed to go that far North but by the time we got there it had reached NC. We arrived at 3:30 on Saturday October 8th and they closed the road to the condo at 10:00pm. So we spent the night and into Sunday in 70-80mph winds. A little to much for sailing and kiteboarding, hahahaha. By Monday things were back to normal but the road to the condo was still closed and did not reopen until Thursday, so no visitors could arrive or leave. Did get to take the TI out 2 times on the Sound side(the shallow side, not the ocean side) of Hatteras Island. In answer to your question, we were out on Lake Clinton in Lawrence, Kansas(home of KU Jayhawks, if you are into college basketball).

Hi Patrick, wow I've never been in a hurricane. Sounds a bit scary. Glad you were able to take your TI out a couple of times. Do you sail year round? I'm more of a fair weather sailor. I like it nice and warm! Cheers~ Rockin Robin

I haven't noticed a problem. Perhaps is on your end?

Hi Enidan, I have been so busy with my other channel, I haven't had time to make the video. Here's my other channel on cooking: ruclips.net/user/cookingmexicanrecipe just in case you want to cook something! I hope to get to that video soon.

Yes he is!

Hi Bruce, no we don't belong to an island club. Couldn't really find one. If you hear of one let me know. I think it would be fun to go out sailing with others of the same boat.

Interesting question. I think you could make up some sort of pole to do that. I will have to look into that. Have you had any luck figuring that out?

No, not yet. I was thinking of perhaps changing the knob on the keel to a RAM mount and then having a corresponding female mount that encapsulates it. The next problem to overcome would be how to be able to lift the knob out of the detent so that it could be positioned forward or aft (Incorporate a pivot point on the pole somehow?). The problem after that would be whether to have the hand pole going from the rear to the knob/RAM mount fixed or free, and how and where to stow it. I think this sort of arrangement, or similar, would make life easier for anyone to operate the boat from the rear seat. As we get older, injuries aside, we become somewhat less nimble.

Ha Ha Tommy! Keep on sailing I say! Hey, I've been wanting to make a little step to make it easier to get back in the boat after a swim for me. This could work if you aren't too heavy. Either that or make a beefier one.

+Scott Lawrence Hi Scott, I bought the cradles when I bought the boat. They are from Hobie and made specifically for this boat. And yes they are pricey. I'm sure you can google it and find it online too. Make sure you specify which boat you have.

+Truth 2027 Lol! Glad you liked the video! So you are a dual viewer I see! Cool. Cooking and sailing are my fav's!!

+Tommy Jensen Hi Tommy, great to hear the video helped you out! Yes we always start out by putting one pontoon out at the dock and then once we peddle out from the dock, we extend the second amma. Love this boat!

+aergaesdrg dfgasdergwaesrg Yes I hear ya. I love taking the dog with us. I plan on making a video soon on how I made my ramp. How heavy is your golden? You may have to beef up your construction if she/he is much heavier than my son's dog at about 55lbs.

+Matt Davis Hey Matt, sounds like your Rottie is a pretty big dog. You would need to make a heavy duty ramp. My son's dog is only in the 55 to 58 lb. range so this worked great for him. He sure enjoyed the ramp!

+Jim Len Jim, thank you. I have not sailed the TI by myself but you probably wouldn't have a problem. I've seen others here on youtube who go out fishing by themselves and do just fine. It's always nice to take someone with you, in my opinion. I guess it just depends on how often you will be going by yourself. My opinion is get the TI for more options. BTW you can control the TI from either seat so that is not a concern.

+canal livre - vitoria fresh water, yes!

+canal livre - vitoria Thank you!

+Nick Fritz Hi Nick, I did say I would make a video showing how I made the dog ramp. Stay tuned, I will be making that video after the holidays. Thanks for asking!

+Rockin Robin Sails - Great, thanks. I look forward to seeing it.

+Michael Skorulski Thanks Michael! Enjoy the TI!

+Scott Mokoski Hi Scott, salt water can be a problem. I wouldn't rely on that little clip on the bow to winch up the boat on a steep ramp. I like your idea about using the mast support. Seems like a stronger point. If I were you I would definitely have the wheel bearings repacked every season for sure with the salt water. I suppose rinsing the trailer with fresh water after every use would be a great idea but you probably already know that! :) Good luck and enjoy sailing in Long Island Sound. Must be beautiful there!

+Lean540 Congratulations on your new TI! I so love this boat! Milo is about 55lbs so keep that in mind. I have lots of extra life jackets and they work great. Tying the ramp up to the aka may mean you don't necessarily need them but as you can see it worked great for us. I hope you will share the video. Thanks for stopping by!

Tracy Geil Hey Cousin, nice to see you over here! Milo sure did great! I love the fact that he enjoyed it. Now if only I can figure a way to make him a swim ramp so he can get back on the boat by himself! Then we could really have some fun with him. He loves to go after tennis balls. I could just see him jumping off the boat to retrieve a ball and then getting back on board by him self. Gotta figure something out!

+Michael Shin Thanks Michael! Hope you are having fun!

T-ROY COOKS Yes he did great! I was thrilled Troy! Now I want to take him all the time!

Dominic Silla Yes there is. You tie the end of the furling line to the end of the sail line that is in the rear seat.

BlueprintDK You can sail the TI from either seat as both have a set up. Big guys that like to have their weight in the rear seat just tie the end of the furling line to the end of the sail line in the rear. That way they can easily pull in the furling line when needed. Does that make sense?

+Rockin Robin Sails thanks.. do you have links to some Pic that shows the solo setup.. my TI2015 will come next week and i will be using it solo most of the time :-)

Jeff Singleton Hi Jeff, I don't know what speed we were going. I've seen people post that they can go up to 12 knots. My son is 6' 3" and he went on the TI with my husband and I and he sat on the trampolines and did just fine. I think you would be fine in the back seat. My husband is 6' and doesn't have a problem. I love this boat so you will get a thumbs up from me! I love having the peddles (drives) as this makes this boat so versatile. You can go anywhere whether you have wind or not. It also makes launching and docking very easy because of it.

James Luisi That's a great tip and I've heard of it before but forgot about it. Would you only attach the furling line to mainsheet when sailing in the rear seat?

Bill Minton, Jr. Hi Bill, the cross bars supporting the cradles are metal which were welded on. Lasts a lot longer! We did put extra padding on the cradle near the stern. The ama wasn't touching it so we built it up a little. Those were great questions. Thanks for asking.

Sue Marley Thank you Sue! Is there anything specific that you would like to see?

Bill Minton, Jr. Hi Bill, yes I am planning to make a video on the trailer we altered for the TI. There is a trailer you can buy specifically for it also and I will explain the pros and cons to doing what we did. Stay tuned!

T-ROY COOKS Hi Troy, this is probably one of the easiest boats to sail. It is very stable which is why fisherman love it. You can stand up when the amas are out (which is almost all the time) and it's solid. You would have a very difficult time capsizing this boat. I absolutely love it! Thanks for stopping in over here!

T-ROY COOKS Ha Ha! Thanks Troy!

Luis A. Bolaños Hi Luis, you are going to have a blast with your TI. I absolutely love the boat! By the way, I have a cooking channel on youtube if you are interested: ruclips.net/user/cookingmexicanrecipe

Michael Shin Hi Michael. Congratulations on your "new" AI! I'll bet you will be fishing from that. Have you ever sailed before? So you want to know how the sail lines work, how to open up the sail and furl it closed? This boat is amazing! You are going to love it.

Yes. I have been on the water with it but without the sail. I don't know where all the lines attach and the basic operational directions for sailing. Thank you.

Michael Shin Hi Michael, I just uploaded a new video that talks about the sail lines. Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/ZqMQE0tbfQI/видео.html

Thank you for remembering. Much appreciated.

You are welcome Michael.
