David, your crew, will never e satisfied going slow again! Multihulls are the best.

This vid's awesomeness is only surpassed by its usefulness.
Thanks Joe!
👊😎

nice video, easy to listen for non-native english speaker

[chrisB_OG]

Thank you for this video and all of your videos! Good stuff

[guido]

What about a Tiger ? Should we go on an reach with the spinnaker to add valuable more Speed or is better sail more upwind with both jib and Main traveller out waiting for the ultimate gust without the kite up?

[dernslerks]

so I see a cute little boat part at 14:53 that I don't know about up on the chain plates... the little triangulating brace between the jib tack and forestay. What's it called and what's it do? I have an 87 H16 with pretty original stuff and I'm new to the scene. Great channel though, without having watched your tutorial on how to tack properly and do a 3-point when boat speed goes south, I'd probably still be stuck upwind of my launch 2 weeks ago!

[steverogers]

Hey, and how possibly are you able to tell there's another gust just ahead????

[robertosgood]

How do you keep track of your speed Joe? Is it the wrist piece?

[homefront]

Just think if H-16's could be had just 8" longer (Only in the bow), I imagine it would help with speed runs. I remember in the 1980's someone made a small wing thing for the bows of H-16's, a little up angled wing thing on each bow, I think it was an anti pitch-pole invention... haha I would love to see it today. Joe. watching your videos makes me feel like I am sailing with an old friend mixed with an instructor, your channel is first rate mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[chrisosterhus]

Are you starting from a slightly upwind position before sheeting out and bearing away or are you already at half wind and bearing away to a downwind course?

[hifly]

What does it feel like when the rudder stalls. Is it a Vibration or loss of directional control momentarily falling off downwind?

As always another awesome Joyrider Experience. Thanks.

Again I learned some more to try on my hobie 16

[gileschalk]

Find it really hard to use the back of the boat on the hulls in chop as your feet get washed off when you go fast. Less of a problem on your flat water.

[islandfoot]

Great video Joe! I recall some of your cat fleet (Tiger, FX1, and C2) have hull foot straps to prevent rear foot wash off. Have you tried or seen that on a Hobie 16?

[jarrett]

How could you predict the gust of wind?

[danielecorlazzoli]

Dear Mentor, I see that the main traveller is quite out ... does it means that you are sailing on a broad reach ? or instead are you sailing close hauled but with the traveller out to keep the boat down on the hull? or at this speed given one such an high apparent wind you trim the sails as if sailing close hauled ?

[homefront]

By the way, you are hauling ass in this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
