Once you have it turned Turtle, and wish to right it again, I submit that you each hook a righting line to each stern point (from the bottom around the outside of the hulls. Then stand on the forward crossbeams andhike out forward. As you bury the bows, the sterns will come right up and over again.. As she comes over the top and down , you each fall off toward the outboard sides. A piece of cake. The moment of the bows to the base of the wishbone is way shorter Than the sterns to the base. And it saves you messing with the rudders, etc. I think if you give this a try, you will be pleased . . . !!

A few people has a smallish barrel buoyancy thing fairly high up in the mast. It will prevent it from turtle.

It's nice to see how difficult it was to flip the Hitia. Your best plan bar none is to not go turtle. Any time you feel like you might be in danger of capsizing you should be hoisting positive floatation to the masthead on it's own dedicated halyard. There's no excuse for going turtle on such a small and conservatively powered catamaran. Just guessing about your dimensions, but if you had a cubic foot of floatation at 12 ft (length of mast?) you would have 64 x 12 = 768 ft-lbs of buoyant righting moment vs. the weight of the high side hull at say 150 lbs on a 2 ft. moment arm for 300 ft.-lbs of turtling moment. Such a situation then gives you all kinds of time to get around to the bottom side of the boat and properly right it using just body weight and a grab point. You'd be able to pop it right back. All that other nonsense you're thinking about with water bags is ill conceived, You could accidently end up crushing those door skin hulls or exhausting yourself. That would be a sad moment. You should also be wearing gloves. Any hand injuries will significantly add to the distress. Long live the R2AK!!😂

This time I will do it manually with the help of Woodglut designs.

Loving the training you fellas committed to for the R2AK! I'm not sailing my cat as yet, she's under construction down under near Sydney Australia. It's a 20ft Polynesian inspired double canoe... check it out! ruclips.net/video/lHIIsAi3Sf0/видео.html Cheers, Aaron

2 things come instantly to mind / Deck paint around the midships on the outside of the hulls / a pole that can be lashed to the inside edge and the rope attached creating a triangle , and then the pole leveraged on .... up she comes .

Un espectáculo!!!

Hi, could you lut me know about speed under this sail?

Try using a pull rope for each man, have a capsize gin pole for each rope stored on the underside of the trampoline. Mechanical advantage could help.

Ha, this is funny, just ran across this video at random on RUclips and realized, hey, I know that boat! It was in the space next to my Hobie 17 at Sail Sand Point. As far as I know it's still there.

You got this mono sailors........multihull don’t sink

These guys are to stupid to live

Lesson learned, sail with big, heavy crew. Polynesian woman are perfect and love the sea.

Now add 5 metre waves in the Pacific and 50kt winds to this and do it all again...

And for Christs sake if your going do it the hard way why are you choosing the most buoyant lever to right the hulls ??? its ten times easier pulling the bow or stern while you dip the tips the beam is going to be impossible . You have to be smarter that the machine come on now .. ok you guys are out ! Moe Larry Curlie ? go show um how its done !

Boston Whaler made the head of the main a flotation cell the whole triangle so you couldn't go turtle the mast head just floats . And you dont have to attach a life vest to a halyard under water to hoist to the mast head accomplishing the same thing.. . If it took this long to right a capsize in my sailing academy when I a wee lad I would have to do it again and again until it was quick ... I mean come on get all that stupid safety gear off youre not sinking yet.. this video should be less than five minutes not forty .... love the boats though ... send bloody cushion to the top of mast duh !!!

I was wondering when the cat is upside down. Maybe place a long board from center of trampoline over keel and walk out on it as a fulcrum. Then when boat comes up walk back toward keel and keep momentum up by pulling the ropes. Kind of like how the Bahamian sailboat races when they use a long board to hike out on sometimes a bunch of guys hiking out. But in reverse for righting?

Lesson learned. always have your tinder ready and have more than you will need.

Murray's marine sells a ballast bag, you fill it with water, to add weight, you should buy a universal righting line to use with it and it should be easy

Excellent and informative, thank you! Belatedly - it is allegedly easier to right an inverted cat by pulling the bows under, in pitch. On a Hitia there is probably even less buoyancy in the stern - iirc. And any water that has found its way below should then assist (free surface effect) by making its way further aft...

Guy in the blue shorts - save time by just placing your hands directly into the flames next time. He must've burned the shit out of his fingers - when he could feel them again.

I want to go to Puget Sound so badly.

How has this not gone viral???

I would say you guys failed at this with out your go to bag ,,, I would have went straight to me go to bag my self and good luck on Alaska up there dont screw up go to the go to bag it will save your live :)

wow nice you had em From bearing sea gold jump in with you pretty cool guy's she is a great lady :)

John Wick killed how many men in John Wick movie???

I wonder if some kind of inflatable bag fitted near the top of the mast...maybe with a CO2 cartridge, that you could set off when needed, otherwise could be tied up out of the way would help get the boat back on its side.?

A catamaran's worst case scenario is depicted here, t'is why the trimaran is superior... you can flood one float, stand on it and right side up it comes.

should be easier if one sits on the shoulder of the other creating a greater momentum

Wow , thanks so much for this post. To see not only the Wharram stability but most to see the difficulty two healthy men have righting it in calm conditions. I can only imagine standing on that hull when there is a 2ft chop or worse running, i.e. the conditions where your most likely to capsize. Thanks again.

I didn't think the Hitia 17 had the capacity for that race. Nice job on the capsize. Wharram should post this video as evidence of the boat's stability.

that fun!

Golden Gardens? Love that place. Close to the Old Alma mater. Go Dawgs! Great video also, it totally shows what can happen when you have not prepared or practiced enough with the basics of fire starting, not to mention trying it in wet weather with hypothermia! Brave thing to do, but it is obvious neither of you knew what you were doing, that sounds a bit harsh, but is accurate. I hope you guys spent a very long time after this experience honing your fire making and other survival skills. Oh, and I am not saying I could EASILY get a fire going, especially with the poor tools you chose (It is INCREDIBLY difficult to accomplish fire making in those conditions WITHOUT shaky hands half naked). I am saying however that with what I know and have practiced many times over the years, that with the better tools which I would have with me, I could get a fire going eventually. Not arrogance, just experience. Step one would be to do about five minutes of calisthenics to get warmed up BEFORE trying to start the fire. Step two, if you had that axe, it would have come out immediately, you wasted so much time with those useless little folding knives, Your tinder was too big, thick and wet to be of any use and there was not enough of it. Also, there was not any kindling to light after the tinder was going. MORE prep was needed. By this time I am sure you know all of this, but someone watching for the first time might benefit from a response from you two regarding your thoughts and findings after the fact. Again I know all of this is Monday morning quarterbacking, but somebody has to do it, LOL. So, as an addendum after watching the rest of the video, IF you have the bailout bag, and would always have the bailout bag, why would you not immediately use it? For that matter, if you can have/use a ferro rod, why would you not simply carry a lighter? Are there specific rules against modern fire lighting gear? If so, how is a ferro rod allowed? I assume you are trying to prove to yourself that you could get a fire going in the worst case scenario?
