Pulling Over a flipped 16' Catamaran with a 1956 Evinrude 15

There has to be a good reason the cat needed help. Usually they're pretty easy to right.

nice

why catamarans are so cool is cuz if u stand on the edge part where the 2 floats are dolfins get in the middle =D

[marrrrrrks]

jeez all those idiots in the motor boats nearly ran it over

[announcerjoe]

Righting a Hobie 16 should take less than 2 mins WITHOUT the motorboat... that guy should go back to a Sunfish

wow i have no clue wat ur talkin bout...there was wat 1 guy tryin to rigt it??i have a 16 and a 18 it takes 4 ever well that might be just because im a kid but for it to take 2min. to right it would have to have like a fat kid or more than 1 person thats way it took that long...but that was funny u should go back to sunfish!haha

I raced Hobies for 20+ years... 2 mins is if EVERYTHING goes right and you're motivated. If the wind is strong enough to blow you over... it can blow you back up!

I just re-watched this video for the first time in a long time - HIS MAIN SHEET WAS CLEATED THE WHOLE TIME! That's about 1000 pounds of water resistance right there... amateur, but at least he had people around to help.

yea well i know now wat u mean cause i sailed the worlds longest river race this weekend and i was on a hobie 16 and we got it in bout 2mins. yea man my sail instructors tell us that all the time uncleat the main sheet or u will never get it over

[announcerjoe]

Amen to that... a lil' Sunfish with a sail full of water is nearly impossible to pull up!

[SuperSean616]

oh yea man i hate that!!!but i can still get it over

So I see you've found the footage... what tape was it on? I liked the music you put on it, too, what song is it?

[Wolfy491]

You know what? This video is growing on me -- I gave it 5 stars. At first I was kind of peeved because you keep using my footage for some things, but seeing yours, Kevin's, and my name in the credits made me think we make a pretty good team. The beginning of the vid is kind of slow, but I like the suspense when the music gets stronger, the boat takes out the slack, and you hear, "pull! Kevin, pull!" etc. Then when the caddie tips up and the music gets triumphant -- that's really timed well, too.

Real COOL. Great job guys. If that old Evinrude could only talk.
