Important note....Joe is wearing a PFD despite the fact that there is pretty much a zero chance of capsizing. It's just a good habit to get used to.

Had a 10-minute lesson today (first time sailing) followed by my first solo. It was awesome!!! I want to do more!!!!

[MJ-jnqh]

going out on the water for the first time in 1½ years today, can't wait!! thanks for the video, you're awesome:)

[jim]

Great video, thanks! Dodging the other boats is like the Asteroids video game.

sorry I'm back just got back from my sailmaker/repair people and he said it's WAY cheaper for me to send in my sails without battens get analysis and likely repairs, and windows installed, then drive up to pick them up (because the length of the battens I need increases the cost of shipping). just thought I'd throw that in there for anyone thinking about replacing old sails. another good one, joe!

Thanks for the video! I’ve just bought my uncle’s old windrush 14. Probably 35-40 years since I was last on her (my uncle driving not me) and I’ll need to learn all about it. 👍

[TheOminousVoidWispers]

Taking the cat out tomorrow! Thanks for the videos and breakdowns Joe! Your teaching style sticks with me! So stoked to get the old girl moving again!

[JordanRangerr]

This is actually a really good tutorial!

[bradaltemeyer]

good calm description, making a successful tack instead of getting into irons is nice, of course knowing how to sail a hobie a bit backwards is another skill to learn for a new sailor. (alumni of the 1992 Formosa Sailing Challenge series- fun times on boats/ Hobie 16)

[Charliesaysz]

Thanks for this, really clear info 👍👍

[MichaelMoscato-jw]

Been boating/sailing since i was a kid but never on a hobie cat. This is my next goal.

[alongduenog]

Im so jealous... so relaxing to do.. thank you.

[ferencs.harmat]

Joseph! We need a video on the 16’s average speed!!!

[kpmcdonald]

Great video and beautiful water! Where are you?

[bobedwards]

very cool! how well would this apply to a larger sailboat, an ocean going catamaran?

[shepman]

Hi Joe, Do you teach Hobie cat sailing? My wife and I want to learn. We are already sailors but on bigger boats. We're looking for a vacation place to go to so we can learn Hobie cat sailing. Thanks - Mark

[robertosgood]

Thanks Joe, well sorted out especially with the other guy inserted for focus and topic clarity. I see the trolley wheel markings along the hull from your launch video. What to you find removes this the easiest? At the beginning of a season I use Muriatic acid with a solid rinse, but I wouldn't want to use that stuff so close to the water. Oxalic acid products don't really have much effect.

[McNighthawk]

Hi there. I just got a hobiecat catamaran. Upon travelling a long distance home, I realized there was no boom with it. Do cat's have/ need a boom? I have seen some with one and others without one. Thanks.

[rebirth_mishap]

i gotta craving to watch Jaws 2 all of a sudden

What do you have on for a life jacket? I've been looking for a low profile option, everything we have is so bulky lol
