New hulls for the Hobie 16
Просмотров 2717 часов назад
Installed some yellow hulls off another boat I picked up for cheap. These hulls are rock solid from what I can tell. Boat feels super stiff! Feels so good to get back on the water. Still needing to fine tune the rudders from the install, they were cavitating quite a bit, audible hum and vibration. Also testing out new camera angle
Hobie 16 hull failure (but also a great day)
Просмотров 48121 день назад
8/17/24 My old blue 16 is broke. The hull gave up after a pitchpole and a subsequent trapeze attempt. Fortunately we had friends on the water to help. Despite that unfortunate incident, we had a fantastic day on the water. I am so blessed to have such a great, fun lake and winds to sail here. My plan is to strip everything off the boat and scrap the hulls. I would like to find a replacement for...

8/10/24, Amistad Reservoir, TX Such a good day, awesome winds and a lot of good speed. Also my first pitchpole for the books. Thankfully the wind didn't die after going over like last time so righting the boat was a piece of cake. 00:00 - on the water 03:15 - the gusts 05:54 - new personal speed record 10:30 - another great run 17:27 - my first pitchpole

7/14/24 (re-upload for quality test) Had a great day on Amistad Reservoir, got some good speed on the 16 and also got some double trapeze practice. Still dialing in a couple things, need more length on the trapeze shock cord and a shorter mainsheet. Also continuing to test out telemetry options from the GoPro GPS data. 00:00 - making friends on the water 03:15 - new personal speed record 07:50 ...

With its historic low water-level extremes, Amistad Reservoir is often overlooked. Fortunately for me, there's still plenty of water to send it on the Hobie (and not too many people to crowd me out)!

7/6/24 Stoked to have my first capsize under my belt on the Hobie 16. Had a blast on Amistad Reservoir and got some solid sends once the wind picked up. A lot of good practice with trapeze transitions and line management.

6/25/24 Second time on the Hobie 16, much more breeze this time around. Still a lot of things I need to get used to with the 16, including high wind tacking and line management. Ended up resorting to cheater tacks, and the mainsheet loved to take a swim. Got a little wire practice, didn't throw myself out there as much as I could have just with getting used to the bigger breeze. The high banks ...
Sailing Hobie 16 on Amistad Reservoir

6/22/24 I succumbed to the cat fever, so we out here. First time taking out the new-to-me Hobie 16, Amistad Reservoir proved to be a pretty neat spot. I took things slow to get familiar with the new boat. Wind was fairly light, moderate at most. I can tell this bad boy can take waaaay more, looking forward to getting out in some heavier breeze. 00:00 - Intro 03:43 - Stumbling onto the wire for ...

I sold the C-15 a couple weeks ago. Sad, but it was time to move on and prepare for the next chapter of life. In the meantime, I've had some fun sailing rental Hobies on Mission Bay. This day with my dad was a blast! I may be a dinghy sailor at heart, but a part of me will always love the beach cats! I plan to acquire another boat in the future, not sure what or when quite yet. Here are key mom...

Nice work, looks like you got it up just over 25kn. Warm Water warm weather, looks nice, enjoy
I think it was closer to 15 knots, but sure felt great!
Any idea of wind speed on that sail?
Windy said 10 gusting 20, probably somewhere around that
Where did you get the new hulls and replace so quickly?
I found another used 16 for cheap that wasn't in sailing shape by itself, but had really solid hulls. Popped the blues off and put the yellows on. Feels great!
It looks like the American Mexican boarder bisects the lake, can that be a problem if you accidentally cross the boarder line?
It's past the big bridge seen in the background, and even then a ways after that. I never get close so don't have to worry about it
Where do you sail? It looks great
This is Amistad Reservoir, Texas
Looks like a great sailing spot!
It is! Only downside is not having a great launching area, it is pretty rocky
Great to see you back on the boat!
Yes!
Great clean water.
Not too shabby!
I thank you for the video's , im working on a c-15 looks like fun out there.
Hope it comes out nice!
Are then lines to your rudders for a turtle? No loose
That is the Hawaiian righting system from Murray's. Apparently it can help make righting easier since you can use the middle of the line to hold onto. I haven't found it revolutionary or anything and I may just remove it to clean the boat up
Crank you down haul on and your main sheet to center……you’ll fly!
Sail it like you stole it!
@@colesheive7649 ya find a new set of hulls?
@@dannydowell9979 Yes! Found some yellow hulls that are in great shape and they are on the boat now
This is crazy. And just terrible timing me watching this since I’m buying a H16 this weekend hahaha gotta love the algorithm lol Had no idea this could happen like that. Hopefully you can find a used one for a bargain, they are out there I’ve been searching. Doesn’t look like much was damaged besides the hull
Don't let this stop you from getting a nice used 16! But yeah I actually found a cheap 16 that had solid hulls and I've already swapped them out. My next upload will show my new yellow hulls! In my case, this failure was just waiting to happen. The hulls had a ton of soft spots everywhere. The good thing is it showed me exactly how and where it would fail with the soft spots it had
@@colesheive7649 Got it! Good to know about this. Mine should be solid, didn’t notice any soft spots so I’m going for it. Glad you found another one! Will be here for the next videos. Cheers from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Did you cut the ports in the hull?
Previous owner installed them
Thanks for the video, it's really awesome.
Thanks 🤙
Great video for a newbe who just bought a C15. Hwy where did you get the bag. couldn't find it on Amazon.
Here are the links to the bags I used as well as the velcro straps. I looped the pouch to the front of the zipper bag using the molle webbing www.amazon.com/dp/B07G43NSN9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title www.amazon.com/dp/B08F297TK2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title www.amazon.com/dp/B071DGMNMX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
My congratulations! It's my dream.
Mine too!
Nice! How did you get it to output in knots? I have a GoPro and I can only figure out how to show speed in mph or kph.
It is a unit option in the program I use for the gage overlays (Telemetry Overlay).
Those dead spots are what I want to use to teach my kids how to sail. Thanks for posting this video, it's very relevant to what I want to do.
Thanks! I've learned that dealing with shifting winds on the water teaches you lot
Crazy. I wouldn’t have thought that THIS could even happen. How old was the boat? Had you identified soft spots in the hulls before the accident? I hope you‘ll find some used hulls or another 16 so that you can combine the best parts of both boats.
These hulls are 1978. If you look closely after we pitchpoled, you can see the bow had already been bent/warped. I believe the pitchpole initiated it and then my weight on the trapeze pulled the rest out of it. But these hulls definitely had some soft spots, so clearly this was waiting to happen.
Awww damn! Still an awesome rip!
It really was blast!
That's a bummer man sorry to see that
The good thing is I still have plenty of value with everything else on the boat. Just need to replace the hulls and we'll be good to go
@colesheive7649 yea where I live there are tons of cheap hobie 16s that could be scandalized for hulls. Good luck on your rebuild and re rig. You'll end up with something great
Did your crewman get out on the trap or not enough wind?
Not that day. Probably not enough wind, at least for consistent double trapeze. Wind here tends to be plenty for one and barely enough for 2, often not quite enough
That's crazy how it just taco'd like that.
Lose both sail first, it can be really dangerous in high wind when you right it, the catamaran can start rapidly and you will be dragged in the water with no way to jump until losing the boat or a new capsize.
Good tip
So, not all C15s have a mast partner. In that case, shrouds should be connected before stepping the mast.
Yup! I wish I learned that without having the mast partner. It's useful knowledge for most mast stepping I'd think
Nice. What rubber did you use on the hulls?
It is a foam grip. Previous owner installed it
Always a fun ride along, thanks for sharing dude! See if i can get my act together and film my sail this weekend!
🤙
What rubber did you use on your hulls?
I am not entirely sure as it was the previous owner who installed the grip. It is actually some sort of foam material, works well as grip
What’s the app you’re using to record the speed please?
I have a gopro 11, and I use Telemetry Overlay to put the different speed gages on the video footage. Most action cameras record gps data as well, you just have to use a program to extract it
@@colesheive7649 thank you
I had a Hobie 14, then a 16 on Ottertail Lake in Minnesota growing up. Had a blast with both. Also had several spectacular capsizes. I installed a stay lengthener to help right the 16 - only to realize I then had quite a struggle to set the stay back to the correct length once righted while dealing with wind & the chop. Switched to a Hobie Tandem Island trimaran now that I’m in my 60’s. Had no desire to try right a cat at this point. It was tough when I was younger. I’m sure better sailors could pull it off at my age, though.
I've heard of the stay lengthening method for larger catamarans too like the hobie 20 and similar. This instance would have been easier if I remembered to let out the main more than it was (also having basically no wind made it tough)
I had a Hobie 16 for about a decade and never capsized. I always heard you should do it once just to practice righting it. But I was always afraid of breaking something (it was an old boat from the 1970s). Thanks for posting this!
Capsize practice is definitely important. My boat is actually an old salt as well, it's a 78. I got lucky that the previous owner kept it in such good shape
Great video! Thank you
I'm glad you liked it!
Making my monohull look like a slug. Awesome sail and awesome crew and communication! One day i need to grab a craigslist hobie and go play!
I am a true believer that solid monohull experience is the only way to truly get a good feel for small boat sailing. You just don't get the heeling cues on a catamaran. I miss my old C-15 a bit, but... The 16 has been a blast
What are you sending ? Ordinance ?
Something like that, lol
Original color on the hulls?
Yup 👍 it's a 78
The Hobie 16 is very nice to sail and fun. Years ago I had this experience in Conzumel and I enjoy a lot!⛵️
Sailing there must have been beautiful!
That reminds me of my Hobie-time 30 years ago. We modified our 16 with a large square main, bigger jib and a 22sqm gennaker. That was a beast.
Ooh, getting a kite up on a 16 would be something else
I haven't been sailing in years, and this reminds me of what fun I've been missing.
This was a fun day for sure
What did you send? A letter?
Lol. I can dream a little bit can't I?
Loved it Cole! Took me back 40-years to when I used to race the H16. Have fun!
I've never raced, but I'll be racing myself for sure!
Great video! Thanks for posting this!!
Thanks!
Nice! When I was a young man, I almost lived on my H16 for about 7 years. My brother and I would sail in Texas storms and regularly hit 20-25 knots. The boat was like an extension of myself after the first 5 years. Sometimes I'd sail onto a beach or into a slip backwards to amaze the crowd, or single hand it in 25MPH breezes. Good times. If I wasn't here in the PNW now, I'd rent one for nostalgia's sake.
That sounds like an amazing time. I'm definitely looking forward to getting more proficient on this boat and getting more speed out of it!
@@colesheive7649 Cool! If proficiency and speed are your goals, I'll share the big leap in my Hobie education. Besides reading everything by and about Hobie Alter (and George O'day books), I hung out weekends where the Hobie racers gathered, which in my case was Lake Texoma. Being an introvert myself, I never joined the association, but would sit for hours watching them race with binoculars. After the races, I'd sail out and race the best of them back to shore and watch every little move they made and eyeball every accessory on their boats. They taught me to make my Hobie scream in a real blow...literally. Both of the 16's I had would get a case of rudder hum at top speed.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I guess my version of that is simply watching videos on RUclips (not much sailing of any kind happening around here!) But really all my sailing experience has been just getting out there and putting what I see others do to the test!
14 knots! You both did a great job sailing that Hobie. Thanks for posting this video. I enjoyed listening to it.
Sailing the 16 has been so much fun!
hobie 15 or hobie 16 for a true beginner? 🤔
Always the 16. The sooner you get it, the sooner you master all it's nuances.
You guys probably would’ve avoided the capsize if your friend were sitting on the windward side instead. But a great learning experience. Nothing wrong with a capsize
Yup, I was definitely bold in my attempt to fly a hull like the cool kids. Glad to have my first capsize under my belt and looking forward to more action!
Point the mast to the wind, soon as it gets under, its going up. Maybe back over again 😂 at least my experience solo on a 14 hobie.
We did rotate the boat around to point the mast into the wind, but there was basically no wind to help us, lol. The great thing is now I know that even without the wind to help we can right it
Hobie are fun! Enjoyed sailing them in OC MD. Up on one pontoon is fun. The Hobie will tire you out though.
So much fun! Honestly I got way more tired on my old C-15 than the Hobie. Sailing used to be a constant core workout! Lol
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Any idea how much wind you were getting vs. your speed? Thanks for sharing!!!
Not sure about wind, I believe our fastest speed was 14 knots, but the GoPro may not have been accurately calibrated since I did quick start. I did test out the telemetry on my most recent video just to see how it works
@@colesheive7649 thanks for the reply and happy sailing. That looks like so much fun!
Where are you sailing? It looks like a great place to sail!!
@@scottsmallwood6546 Amistad Reservoir, Texas. I've had great fun here!
Let both sheet lines out.
Yes! It was only after sailing a while more once getting the boat righted that I realized that the jib may have been the culprit! Lol
Good job! If I may offer some advice: Righting a capsized yacht is aided by completely easing the mainsheet. A tightened mainsheet causes the partially submerged sail to hold water and resist resurfacing. Water drains better from a loose sail.
Yes, I definitely felt that resistance from the water!
plus if you're unlucky, it could grab some wind and take off after being righted
