    ⛵️Instagram / totaljoyrider SO MUCH WIND THAT EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO SAIL DOWNWIND YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO PITCHPOLE, NOSEDIVE OR CAPSIZE.
    Try one of these methods to get downwind.
    These can be especially useful when having to sail back to the beach in a strong onshore wind. These should work on any beach catamaran, hobiecat, hobie 16 or twin hull sailboat.

    Nice handy sailing there guys! Much fun watching!
    Pitch pole is my greatest fear next to COB (Captain overboard) when I sail my F28 catamaran with my girlfriend in strong winds. We do try to avoid such winds, and I'm "always" one reef ahead of the conditions.
    Yet, after four decades of sailing cats, wind continues to surprise me in how fast it can change. 😀

    • @JoyriderTV

      I can imagine that on an F28 either a MOB or pitchpole would be quite a disaster!

    What went wrong with the main sail? What's it because of the downhul too released it comes out of the mast rail?

    • @Kirmo13
      @Kirmo13 Год назад +1

      Yes. For strategy number 2 (2:38) they completely release the downhul to get any pressure off the main sail and go down wind, however, they forgot to set it back after.

    • @Kirmo13
      @Kirmo13 Год назад +1

      Actually, I rewatched the video, and at 7:47 the main sail is already ripped and the boom was still attached to the mast, so idk what went wrong

    • @louwjoubert1756
      @louwjoubert1756 Год назад

      I also saw the torn main sail. Joe, what exactly went wrong? How can we learn from this? Yeah, it seems to be the downhaul, which let the slider to detach from the mast

    • @JoyriderTV
      @JoyriderTV  Год назад

      The tack eye pulled out when Sam pulled the downhaul back on after the ferry gliding.
      I assume it was a manufacturing defect.

    • @JoyriderTV

      But having the slider out of the mast put more strain on that area as well.

      and i think when the slider popped out of the mast that didn't help.

    Great video, and great techniques. Joe, have you ever sailed with a Supercat 17? Here in Brazil, we have a considerable fleet of this boat, all from the 80s and 90s. Guys had a deal with Bill Roberts and produced the boat here. I'm a new owner of one of these missiles :))) Would be really nice if someday you could talk a little bit about this fantastic boat.

I live in Florianópolis, an island in the south of Brazil. We have a growing fleet of cats here. North Bay of the island is one of the top best sailing sports in the country. The best sailing season here in the south is between nov-april. I'lll send a mail with my contacts.

    I've always done pretty good by sheeting both sails in tight and steering the keep the stern dead into the wind. Have to be careful about sudden accidental jibes but with the sails in tight you don't get slammed over.

    • @JoyriderTV
      @JoyriderTV  Год назад

      Yes, that is a good method to get the boat slowed down on the downwind - not my favourite though, as it can go wrong if you get too deep.

    As a single hander on a unirig Dart 15 I could use option #3 to launch from the beach with strong offshore wind as starting downwind I always have the prospect of seeing the boat sailing away without me. I have to try the method in open waters as our beach is often crowded and see how maneuverable the boat is steering with the main.

    I once lowered the main in 35 gusting upwards. We rolled it as came down, taking the mainsheet out. Was worried we would snap the mast without the main acting as a backstay. So attached a trapeze to the corner casting. Lashed the main to the foot straps. Worked well.

    • @quigzinator
      @quigzinator Год назад

      maybe could of used the halyard on the boom attached to where to mainsail clew attaches, then sheeting in the mainsheet to get backstay tension to the top of the mast? I recently did this to keep my boom from knocking about while trailering mast up to a launch ramp.
