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.

Going All In on the Start! | Hobie 16 International Finals Day 2
After repeated delays at the Hobie 16 International Championships, Race Officer Mark Santorelli finally sent us onto the water when the breeze shifted into the southeast.

Day 3 of the Hobie 16 International Championships delivered one of the most difficult races I’ve ever sailed. We launched into two exciting port-tack starts, but the first race didn’t go to plan.
