How to Trapeze as Crew on a Catamaran | Hobie 16
Have you always wanted to trapeze but weren't sure where to start?
In this video I'll show you exactly how to trapeze as crew on a beach catamaran, from your very first time hooking on to confidently moving forwards and backwards while sailing.
We'll begin on land with simple practice drills you can do before even launching the boat, then head onto the water where I'll demonstrate every stage of the technique using multiple camera angles.
You'll learn:
• How to hook onto the trapeze safely
• The easiest way to get out onto the wire
• How to come back into the boat smoothly
• Moving forwards and backwards while trapezing
• How to stay balanced in gusts and waves
• The most common beginner mistakes (and how to avoid them)
• What to do if you lose your balance
• Alternative techniques if you have limited mobility
Whether you're sailing a Hobie 16, Dart 18, Nacra, F18, Tornado, Prindle, Topcat, A-Class, Formula Catamaran or almost any other beach cat, these techniques will help you become a more confident crew.
