Hobie Cat Sailing Norway

[dylantorquerol]

I didn't know the hobie 16 has a rotating mast. Do all of the hobies have rotating masts?(the glass ones)

[newnetnerd]

What a great video!

[AveiMil]

This looks like a lot of fun, is it difficult to sail compared to say a Fireball?

Hy,

Nice these different Cam positions!

But please Answer me one question, where and how did you fixed the Cam at the Sail, did you fixed it on a batten? (@1:41)

[banzaib]

@RainerSh19191313 I put a small fiberglass rod into the batten pocket with the batten and taped them together to extend it back away from the sail. It can't be too long or it will shake too much.

Could someone tell me what kind of boat this is?

Cheers

[banzaib]

@mynewjamsandwich It's a Hobie Cat 16. Sometimes with the optional gennaker.

[mynewjamsandwich]

I'm a bit new to this. Could someone tell me what is this and is it the same one all the way through?

Cheers

cant believe you sailed your boat right onto the beach. best way to damage the gear and the hulls

[banzaib]

@iwuvwoo234 It should have bothered you more that in one of the pitchpole sequences my 90 kilos landed on top of a 15 year old girl. She was ok by the way. The boat is ok too, even after the beaching.....you know, they also call them "beach cats". Thanks for your concern though.

[joekuta]

I did what you said, it does give a nice feel to the video,

but couldn't you just continue the 2nd track?

[sytarantella]

Hi, I'm also using fixed mastcameras on a Bavaria 37. Its a great location so Ive put two, one forward and the other down.

One sailrace movie is published.

[yukapumas]

is it possible to sail near oslo?? is there a sailing school near oslo??

[bphendri]

Great vide guys. Wish we could sail a H-16 with spin here in the USA. Would keep me from going F-18 when it gets paid for.

[pescarainvela]

Great video!

[civilranger]

I'm telling you, the world's hobie sailors should unite. If more people went sailing and spent less time shooting each other i think we'd all get along a lot better. . . you can't love sailing and destroy the planet at the same time - I dont think :O

[silverarogr]

Great video guys... Manos From Greece here. Nacra 4.5 owner, newbie on the cats. Glad to see a fantastic video that took me on the wire and let me get the feeling on a windy and cold day here. But hey, summer is near... Cheers.

[MaXiMuSNFSpr0]

Great video! Very good location of cameras :)

[Engasjert]

Wow, great vid!!

[ModernGeographic]

Great stuff! Vid shows the essence of the phrase: "Have a Hobie Day!" Fantastic array of views showing Hobie sailing... simply brilliant, actually! A pleasure to see people having a good time, and putting their creative effort into making a video. THANKS!

[ecodelsol]

whoo hoo. Love your video and your upsets and righting sequences. supah! Where is your favorite place to sail your Hobie. I'm USA, and coming to EU june 08......going to rent a hobie 16 for a few days somewhere.............

[macmawn]

try engadina in Switzerland, great winds and in the middle of the mountains or try the Northsea in the Netherlands (go for TEXEL ISLAND), best place in Europe for CATS.

[boltonmerlin]

Great video... Thanks for taking time to do this..

[EbassGirl]

I love sailing :) i love all boats :) yeah optis not so but it's okay..^^

[BigBro909]

fantastic!!! This is just what it feels like. I love it. Great Music too!

[d95turbo]

Nice vid....

[jfeuchtner]

Freakin' amazing! I'm going to agree with the comment from civilranger. I'm not sure if you were at work like I am now but you are absolutely right. I'm ready to put on a fake cough, get the hell out of here and go rig up my baby!

[j4zock]

I just bought a 1984 18' SolCat. I can't wait to take her out.

[civilranger]

at the beach this week, sailin' away, even found a camera that's waterproof n fairly cheap at the local surf shop. Maybe I'll get one done before long...

[civilranger]

man I keep coming back to watch this video, much more the whole picture than some other vid's on net. Beautiful, great tune, nice shots of different events (capsize, pitch, reaching, launching and landing. Perfect. Takes me there. . .

[banzaib]

Thanks for the comments. My camera has some problems so I'm not making another film this year...maybe next year. For those who like the music it's by the Pat Metheny Group, a cd called Imaginary Day, the song is Follow Me. Thanks again.

[civilranger]

Very nice work guys. I'm a hobie lover and was sitting here on a windy afternoon wishing I was out on the water. Your video took me there, some of the neatest shots I've seen so far on you tube. Nice job.

[trackend]

Thanks for that I used to sail a Dart 18 years ago (did the worlds a couple of times) brought back some good memory's of summer days playing on the wire.

[1970SG]

I really like all the camera angles. Music is great for the video also!!

[banzaib]

Thanks, nice to hear you liked it. I'll be trying to make another this summer too. The music is from Pat Metheny, a CD called Imaginary Day.

[1970SG]

Excellent, What kind of camera setup did you use? How did you get the camera attached to the mast?

Im trying to get my H16 ready for the season. Where are you located at in Norway?

I'd like to try to make a video this summer.
