I created this video with the RUclips Video Editor (ruclips.net/user/editor)
Looks pretty cold there!
Yup it was October sailing in New Jersey
Would an Ex-girlfriend qualify as a "BAG" also?
Jak to się skończyło? Masz pękł zmęczeniowo czy 'wyskoczył' z jarzma i dało się to łatwo naprawić?
Maybe somehow rig the righting line and bag in the parking lot prior to water? Took approx. 9 minutes after capsizing before you were ready to use the bag. Good video though and useful information.
Your feet are at the wrong place while trapezing. They should be on the side of the trampoline not on top of the hulls. Maybe you knew it idk.
I noticed that your feet are on the wrong place while trapezing they should be on the side of the trampoline instead of on top of the hulls.
You could use a second pulley to reduce the wait of the bag by half on your hand.
I picked up a second-hand 4:1 - much easier for solo righting
To mieliscie pecha ,ale i tak hobie16 to najlepsza zabawa na zaglach.Pozdrawim
I went out today by myself on my 45 year old hobie 16. It was gusty 15 - 25 knots or so. I mounted a mast bob this morning since I'm not sure my mast is water tight. Good thing I did because I capsized a little before sunset. I tried and tried. I'm 180lbs. I filled a garbage bag with about 80 lbs of water and slung it over my shoulder - didn't work. Finally a power boat felt pity for me and pulled me upright. I'm still not warm yet hours later as I type this... I'm frustrated. I'm thinking of trying a righting pole next.. It looks like I'm going to have to create that myself.
Did you ever get the hang of righting it?
@@knpstrr Quit trying because I have a H14 so I just started sailing that instead. Tacking the 14 sucks though, and it always wants to pitch pole when the wind is high!
Well done...did the same thing yesterday but had to be towed back to the dock slowly where my wife lifted the mast two feet out of the water for me and up it went with no bag. I will definitely be getting a bag now..... Do you think a mast float would help ?
Yes I dont sail without the bag anymore... Not sure about mast float. If you get quickly on the hulls it will prevent boat to turtle.
Two years later… Yes a mast float is the best insurance against turtling which makes life a lot harder should that happen. I used a tetherball at the top of the mast that dangled a little bit. The cost of a tetherball is hardly worth mentioning.
Why not simply hook a rope on the trapeze line? Now, you are pulling from the top of the mast. I do that on my boat and it is very easy, even solo.
Good suggestion! Will try next time
Physics fail...you are still acting on the same fulcrum ...being side of the pontoon or the trampoline frame where the righting rope touches before it attaches to you or your hand.
You eventually nailed it, but I do believe you need a bit of practice! Good job making it happen with no outside assistance! If you can measure the height that the bag needs to be in order to begin the righting process, get a carabiner clip and tie it to the proper spot on the bag's rope. Leave the rope threaded through the pulley so all you have to do is shackle it to the corner post. This way you can pull the rope through the pulley and clip it onto the post in the dolphin striker and ensure that the bag is lifted to the proper height every time. No knots, no guesswork
dialedN07 yup it took a while and I needed assistance for a couple of times. But definitely gives you a confidence boost once you do it in real world by yourself!
perfect¡¡¡ how much do you weigh? and how many liters does the bag have?
Soc Jo Tío hi I’m 200lb and the bag has 50 liters
@@witoldczubala7478 What kind of bag is it? Where can I purchase it? Thanks!
I have a Hobie Wave and I am very much afraid of capsizing...will I ever get ON it again?
Nice video! I think it's great that you uploaded the whole righting sequence for other sailors to learn from. I hadn't thought of using the trap hook like that with the righting line. Did you have any trouble getting the line out of the hook after you had the boat back on it's feet?
The trap hook is the way to go. Its EXTREMELY tiring trying to hold on with your arms. You wouldn't think so but it's very very hard to hold on for more than 30 seconds. With the hook, you literally dangle there and wait for the boat to come up. The key is to tie the knots in the correct place.
Took my 16 out today solo. 2nd time I've ever used it. Big gust caught me while I was cleated and could not react in time. Flipped me over, and I could not right the darned thing. Luckily a boat came and helped me. Now I am here trying to find ideas how to right a hobie solo👍
I'm still trying to figure out why it went over, especially backwards like that. Good job getting it pointed into the wind and solo righting it, at 175 lb you've sold me on the need for a righting bucket or pole, thanks.
I think it was a combination of factors: I was tacking and backwinding the jib which pushed the boat up, I was too far back with weight and prob a wave hit front of the boat. It all made the boat to 'pull a wheelie' and I slid back.
you accidently got on the "wrong" side of the boat, according to the direction of the wind
what do you weigh? looks like it took some time to come up?
I'm around 195 lbs. Definitely wasn't easy took several attempts. What helped was strong winds 15-18 knots and when positioned sail against the wind it started going up.
