Have you made any more training videos??

at 3:50 it looks like you just tacked really close to the rock cliffs... ajajaj

good start for a training video. I am new to cat sailing and this has answered many questions as I am teaching myself to sailing my Prindle 16. Keep it up

Great vid, light wind is a lot harder to tack in, crew might need to grab the jib while standing...and force the sail around the front of the mast. Back-winding in light wind will kill your forward momentum. Also, light wind, you might need to "pop" the boom to get sail shape on your tacks. Raking the mast forward for light wind will ease your jibes, but make jibes tough in high wind. I really liked this video, regular speed will help beginners realize the fluidity of a proper tack.

The Hobie 14 is a very similar configuration to the Hobie 16 and it doesn't even carry a jib.

Let out more traveller and main sheet. Make sure that you don't start to pull them back in until the boat has completed the tack or the main will pull you back into irons.
If you do it properly, the boat doesn't completes the tack without sailing backwards. If you miss it, reverse the rudder and back out of the tack (this is the uni equivalent of backwinding the jib).

Sooo, how do you tack without backwinding?
