That looked like lots of fun and I can't believe the speeds achieved with just a jib rigged!!! Y'all were cooking along pretty good!!! Crazy fun stuff!!! I 😂
@@JoyriderTV Me too, I would have thought there would be so much lee helm, that the drag from the rudders would have canceled most of your head way. Also surprised you didn’t get any do gooders on the beach letting you know you forgot something.. Always had people yell at me to put my rudders down, when I would practice steering by sail trim only “You need to put your rudders down!!”
How did you tighten the rig, great to know that it can be done. I was thinking of a HC 14 mainsail or the easy mainsail i sail in New York that sail is not popular here. Great job
Could stupid amateur cat sailers like errrrrrrm Me go out in high wind like that ........ well i know i could but dyou think it would be worthwhile ...... ? Always fun to watch
makes me happy just watching you- even if I can't be out on my Hobie
Thanks, it makes me thappy that it makes you happy!
I often wondered if you could sail with just the jib. Glad you did it and again always appreciate the physics lesson !
I'm glad that this answered your question. Next video - just the jib in light wind

It certainly was a lot of fun, to be out in that much wind and it be easy!!!
You're a madman Joe!!!!
🤩
U crazy my Friend!!! Ahahah

Jib only, thats hilarious!
I was surprised that it works.

Question: when you want to point upwind, why have the jib traveller fully out? You could have gained 10 degrees angle at least, or?
Was thinking same thing, didn't seem like they were anywhere close to being in danger of capsizing.
To be honest I just went into full power high wind mode and traveled the jib out now that you mention it yes it would have been a very good idea
As luck would have it when we went out for this test it happened to coincide with the wind not being as fierce as it was 10 minutes earlier

I moved the shrouds down and cranked trhe jib halyard
Over 13knts with a crew of two!
Wow! that's impressive!
Unfortunately it wasn't blowing quite as hard as it had been 10 minutes earlier.
Hi, I don't know how easy it would be to arrange but please if you can, can you try an RS feva? It would be awsome
Oh I would love to however for this year she’s been put to bed. I will try to get out on that bad boy when we get her back out in May
I think it’s easier to tack than with main sail alone without the jib ! (With HC16)
Inb that wind it certainlky popped through nicely
Hi please could you write us if is possible do trapeze homemade? can you do a video please about it?
Yes it is.
I'll be able to make that video in April next year.
@@JoyriderTV apart video .....but is possible do it ?
@@millel2264 yes, you can make trapeze lines either with wire or dyneema rope - the rope is quick easy and very strong
so good :)
Thank you 😋
Any risk to the rig without the support of the main and mainsheet in such a strong wind. I guess your trapezes were adding some "backstay"
This is an interesting point for this Friday's Q+A
Cheers
👌
🤩
Not having to worry about an accidental jibe is quite a plus!
for sure - no need to duck
Is this Vasseliki?
Yes!!!
Welp this setup beat my top speed on my dinghy lol
Amazing what you can acheive with nearly 40 knots of wind!!
Nuking wind so fun!
Oh yeah!!!

Hi Barney,
Good question.
That's one for today's Q+A (1730 greek time)
Cheers
