Can Less Sail Make You Faster? | Hobie 16 Test

Can less sail actually make you faster? It sounds completely backwards... Most sailors assume that removing the jib from a Hobie 16 would make the boat slower. Less sail area should mean less speed... right? So I decided to stop guessing and find out. In this video I head out into strong wind co...

Leaving a Tight Mooring in a Hobie 16… BACKWARDS!

Launching a Hobie 16 solo is one thing. But first, I have to sail backwards between the yellow buoys without snagging one on the rudders. A bit of weather-vaning, some very twitchy steering, and then I've got myself a proper runway. Time to launch. More catamaran sailing, tutorials and high-...

90lb Crew. 25 Knots of Wind. How Fast?
