crashing a hobiecat

[lshafter1]

Jib oversheet and crew not back far enough. bad sailing

[MrHobiecat]

uhmm. uncleat the main, DUH!

[MrSchnik]

@bryce65 As Far as Im aware, Its less likely to damage it than using a gennaker

Ive got another video of a hobie 16 pitchpoling at Vass, This time upwind - i thought this was impossible?!?! can anyone explain?

[roosjj94]

Why do you pitchpole so much times?...

I've been sailing with 8bft and I didn't capsized or made a pitchpole...

Sorry for my bad English

[menuoption]

extreme @1:46

[jammin1033]

lol this happened to me the other day.. but i didn't completely go over.. a few minutes later one of the stays broke and the whole mast came crashing down... really bad day..

[bryce65]

That's reall not that great for the boat.

[m287452]

Why are 16's so popular if they are so easy to crash?

[Slocketman]

@m287452 cheap and fun, just has that issue with pitch poling. If you keep your weight much further back than these guys are it's not as much of a problem.

[BnS1374]

@m287452 cheap, fast, fun, SUPER seasy to rig and can handle anywhere from solo to 4 people. it's only the pitchpoling problem, but that is still pretty rare.

[sailindude1221]

thats bad for the boat..

[Jahmohn]

no shit shirlock

[YODAKNOWSALL]

Is that a Evinrude i here humming in the back ground

[V19torrent]

really good camera angle for that pitchpole.

Its so easy to space out and forget to ease the jib when the bow starts to dig. I do it all the time haha. Skipper not always happy though.

[jwallis123]

@V19torrent good tip. i should know that by now but just never heard anyone say it.

[V19torrent]

@jwallis123 its like bread and butter for any crew.

[joekuta]

no they're doing it on purpose, shifting weight ahead

[joekuta]

what

[m1leswilliams]

Looks like the hulls are full, it isn't very high in the water in the last scene... either that or the lads on there are a couple of fatties ;-)

[3168211]

fuck, whatever

[18jango]

thats tipping over not crashing

[halooalie]

never go for the wind I guess?

[1DanielChristensen]

It has no mast float; how does it not turtle; mine always turtles.

[aicirtapful]

Mine never turtles. Just don't put any weight on the mast side and don't linger to get it upright again.

[clymbonboard]

If you always turtle, you likely have leaks in your mast. Take it off the boat and put it under water. Where you see the bubbles, you have leaks. Seal them with silicone, and you shouldn't have a problem turtling.

[edburnzy]

@clymbonboard good tip was about to splash out on a mast float. hope a make a better job than when i seal the bath

[streetskater1000]

this is worst thing u can do to a hobie nice though

[HUNTERS720]

yeh this is totally on purpose

[libra61060]

Simple, Luff up or sheet in  Fast!

or both.

[Sodiumreactor]

why did it crash?

[sabbath481]

the boat is full of water.....it doesn't runs so fast 4 that reason

[acfiorentina]

Are they pitchpoling on purpose? It seems so.

[superzkid]

lol

[insanitysailor]

Nice Pitchpole!

[Kottplockarkommunist]

Lol happens to me all the time, go longer back on the boat and fall of to parry

[baukevisser]

It was 2003. I was the instructor on the boat. Nice to discover it on the wildwind site! brilliant commentary Pasty! If possible, would like to have it in high quality....

bonkebaukeathotmialdotcom

[Gregzm]

amazing a need 2 do tht 1 day haha

[leepasty]

when was this filmed, everyone reckons its my commentary, but im not sure?

[wmrwis]

i'm checking what year I was there. I was sailing with the dutch instructor.

[jasonandrewford]

big fuckin deal

[steeltikenburning]

Good job!It's really funny!

[bphendri]

Yeah. Bear off and sheet in hard? YEAH!!!!

The crew should be popping the jib as soon as that bow goes under.

[danenomite]

some fine instruction from our man benny the weapon. I think the phrase sheet in and bare away seems to a dead givaway that they might be doing it on " purpise " cocksmokers

[marcelleebaethge]

I don´t think that they´re doing this on porpise! They just can´t sail Cat. and the dont know anything about Crew Trim!

[wmrwis]

Yes it's on purpise, if you bare away at the last moment its unlikely you het something

[ZDR420]

Are they doing that on purpise. Ive done that on a C420 and almost broke my leg. lol
