This is not a “learn to sail from zero” course.
It’s designed to reinforce real-world sailing, accelerate progression, and connect the dots between what you feel on the boat and why it’s happening.
Across the full series, we take deep dives into the most important areas of catamaran sailing, including:
Fundamentals of sailing efficiency
Changing direction & manoeuvres
Power control in stronger wind
Starting racing & sailing around a course
Right-of-way rules explained clearly
Rig tuning (F18-style principles)
Spinnaker sailing from the ground up
Trapezing technique for crew and helm
Launching, recovery, and boat handling
Sail shape, trim, and decision-making
Each module is broken into clear, practical lessons, filmed by Joe Bennett (Joyrider TV) and based on decades of real coaching, racing, and instruction.
📚 What makes this different?
Structured learning (not random tips)
Built to support real sailing, not replace it
Progressive modules released weekly
Over 20 modules / ~17 hours of exclusive content when complete
Not available on free channels
The Classroom Series is crowdfunded by the Joyrider community.
Membership directly supports the continued creation of high-quality, independent sailing education.
Joyrider TV is one of YouTube’s leading channels for catamaran sailing tutorials, maintenance guides, Q+As, race strategy, and real-world beach-cat sailing action.
Whether you’re on a Hobie, Nacra, A-Class, Prindle, Hurricane, Dart, Windrush, Tornado, Unicorn, F18, F16, Topcat, Hobie Getaway, Dragoon, or even a Minicat — you’ll find clear, practical videos here to help you sail faster, safer and with more confidence.

How Fast Is a Topcat K2X First Sail in Big Waves
How fast is a Topcat K2X? For my first sail on this unusual beach catamaran, we had 16–18 knots of wind, some seriously big waves and perfect conditions to discover what the K2X could do. This particular boat is fitted with outrigger benches, creating a very different sailing position from a conve...

The Man Bringing Catamaran Sailing BACK to Hilton Head
Catamaran sailing is making a comeback on Hilton Head Island—and Joe Tobin is one of the people making it happen. I joined Joe, the event coordinator and driving force behind Hilton Head’s catamaran revival, for a sail aboard a Nacra Evolution F18. While we were both out on the trapeze, we talked ...
15 Miles of CHAOS! Hobie 16 Round the Rock Race
15 miles around Vassiliki Bay on the Hobie 16 — racing against other Hobie 16s, Tigers and a C2. It started with some seriously fast sailing, but as the race developed the gusts and wind shifts made things increasingly difficult. Picking the right side became critical, and it all came down to an ex...
Want Your Hobie 16 to Last? DO THIS
This Hobie 16 is from 2011 and has spent its life exposed to the brutal Greek sun — but it still looks remarkably fresh. The secret? Keep the UV off it! I’m trying out the trampoline and hull covers from Forward Sailing — protecting the trampoline, ropes, rubber and hulls, with the added bonus of ...
