Solo Sailing Catamaran's, good idea or bad? (Learning By Doing Ep219)
I’ve always loved solo sailing, Sailing alone on a Catamaran is a lot different from a monohull though, this I learnt.
I’m yet to decide if I’ll solo sail my Cat on longer passage though as the danger seems to be much higher.
I solo sailed my mono many thousands of miles, she spoke to me on passage. When the wind got up she heeled over more, when the sea state changed I knew it and woke up instantly. I sailed her without much though, just instinctively.
On my new Cat I have yet to feel this, maybe it will just take longer to recognise these feelings?
When the wind gets up she just goes faster and I dont even realise it. I can be doing 12kts and it doesn’t feel any different than 6kts. At night if a 40kt squall hits this would be very dangerous. On the plus side she’s very easily driven and I can hold a very small amount of sail at night and still do reasonable speeds.
Its just this lack of communication that I’m having difficulties with. Any tips?
Thanks for watching.
