@icarus8778 місяців тому
At a fantastic 3km per hour on average, you walk twice as fast as that. Do not know if you would call it sailing more like the boat being pushed along by the wind without sails or meandering on the tide.

Hey Igor, me and a friend of mine sailed from Monfalcone to Vodice in Croatia this August, with a hobie 16. We sailed 450 km in 2,5 weeks. It was a great adventure. And i was inspired from your previous sailing videos. Thanks for that.
@IgorStropnik8 місяців тому
Cool👍 I also sailed last 2weeks of august from Marina Julia. Where do you keep your boat? I will probably change to Hobie 16 as it looks higher from the sea. FX is the best boat I sailed but maybe low for camping.

Guys, did younhavemsome problem with your cat? On all forums everyone says to avoid mooring, you have to take your cat out of the water etc.

@@IgorStropnik We were in the same area at the same time. Maybe we've missed each other just for a few hundred meters. We traveled from west austria, with a the boot on a trailer to monfalcone. With two person and all the camping gear we were quite low in the water but still high enough. So for one person with the gear i think it's perfect. The banana hulls of the hobie 16 made it quit comfortable in waves. We slept a few times on the boot but it has a bit of a bend in the trampoline. So it's not completely leveled. But i don't have a comparison to another boot. It was our first trip with the boot and our first real sailing experience on the sea. But the boot did a great job. We also had the problem that we get overpowered very fast. So i made exactly the same experience. The hook, on the top of the mast is not really handy when you have to reef the sail. Also a second reef in the mainsail would by a great thing. We also didn't had a furling jib, which i missed a lot.

You could use a foam floor on the trampoline, it keeps you dry from undersplash and it is much more sturdy! You could use it in the front side of the trampoline also to make a dry pocket for your stuff!
@IgorStropnik8 місяців тому
Good idea 👍
@mikesurcouf74788 місяців тому
I wouldn't advise this. The tramp is mesh to reduce loads on it and the boat and itself when waves hit it. Stopping the waves going through the tramp will transfer the loads to the eyelets and the boat attachments and could cause failure.
@costasvrettakos8 місяців тому
@@mikesurcouf7478 waves don't hit the mesh, it is just splashes from underneath. The foam floor is ultra light and spreads the load better on the trampoline.

I used to watch Hobie Cats on Howard Prairie Lake in Oregon, they were fun to watch. Your route is quite nice. I have a former colleague I know in Dubrovnik, an amazing city, another seafarer's city like Venice. I read several sailing books and have been sailing, on Lake Tahoe. I have enjoyed reading Robin Lee Graham's "The Dove", Robert Manry's "Tinkerbelle", Patrick Elam's and Colin Mudie's "Two Against the Western Ocean" and 'Kon Tiki", all true stories I read as a teen in the 70's. Videos like yours are so enjoyable--showing men sailing with the seas, sharing their love of the waves and sailing with the wind.. "The Dove" was made into a movie by Gregory Peck, the famous actor, which I have on mp4, a rare find. Kon Tiki is also a movie. Thanks for sharing your video, it is so nice to watch, and well made and narrated.

A truly amazing video and concept. You have really captured the joy of real sailing (catamaran or monohull according to taste and temperament). I really had a flashback to my childhood and youth in the 70s and early 80s in the southern Norwegian archipelago with a Laser (the original) where we sailed and had pleasant day trips all summer. The filming is also incredibly well done considering how difficult it is to film when you sail such a boat alone. I really like the concept of keeping it simple and the way you rigged the tent is brilliant. The scenery in your part of the world is also truly amazing. Keep up the good work :)

You're awesome!!! Watching you I began imagining myself doing something similar on my Boston Whaler Supercat 17, but with no engine I'm too scared! Also I'm glad you mentioned getting over powered due to the tall mast and big sail area of most beach cats. Being over powered is much worse than no wind. But when conditions are right, there's no other boat I'd want to be getting absolutely soaking wet on:) Thank you for taking video of your awesome journey!! Edit: I just remembered Sam Holmes sailing channel cut big holes in the top of each hull to add storage space, but he cut them right where Hobie 16s hulls tend to fold when they get old and soft. He loaded the boat up with way too much weight and tried to sail from Florida to the Bahamas. It was so low in the water out looked like he was sinking as soon as he shoved off. I think he had to get rescued because he started sinking. You did much better.

Why would you want an engine on such a small boat? I crossed 4 times the Atlantic with my family of 5 on an engineless gaff rigged 35' steel centerboarder. Much more relaxed than with an engine and the associated noise and the false sense of security. We moved it on narrow channels and rivers and in harbors. A 16' sweep helped move it with no wind. Kedging with a 16# bruce to move it when too much wind in tight places, a good rowing dinghy on davits at the ready and good kids as a crew.
@ericswift27735 місяців тому
Nice vid! Sit a bit forward and lift that windward rudder and dagger in light winds. You can run 1/2 leeward dagger for less wetted surface and less drag. When you see turbulence off the stern that means drag. Put three inches of the tip of the bow under water. Those 2 things will really help in light air. Im glad you are having fun!
