I take noticed that in strong winds saing, between 10-15 knots, when course it is close to the wind, minicat become overpowered. Of course if you don’t use trapeze, solution is to release the main sail. I observed that the 1x1 default system it is hard to release smooth the main sail. So, i change it with a solution that use 6x1 pulley system. That resolve all the problems i noticed. For the fi...

    CAREFULL: MINICAT COMPANY HAS A VERY BAD WARRANTY SERVICE ! THEY WANT RETURN DEFECTIVE HULLS BY COURIER AND I HAVE TO PAY- EVEN THEY WANT FIX - THEY THEN WILL SEND TO ME- RESULT : PAY WITH MY MONAY (UNDER WARRANTY) SHIPPING RETUN COST - AND THEN I WILL STAY WITHOUT SAILING FOR (PROBABILY) 1 MONTH - LADS THIS IS VERY VERY BAD WARRANTY SERVICE AND ASSIST CUSTOMERS.

    Question for you - how does it handle in a chop? I'd love to have a portable boat that lets me go to the beach and play in the waves and surf without needing a trailer

    • @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214
      @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214 Рік тому

      You can manage secure this boat in winds up to 12knots and waves up to 0.7-1 m. By principle you can only capsize wich is a problem of when not if, but boat is also non sinkable.

    wonder if you could make a trapeze by attaching a line to the foot strap then to your chest. do you see any big advantage to buying the 460 over the 420 for one person sailing?

    • @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214
      @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214 2 роки тому

      It is an trapeze kit as accesory for minicat. Amd second 460 is ususal am advantage for mor than one person om board. For my opinion 420 is better for one / singlehand.

    When you turn, turn with the wind, not agenst to the wind. You will gain more traction and time.

    I am thinking of getting this MiniCat myself, is it hard to learn to sail

    • @dmitrykh9183
      @dmitrykh9183 Рік тому

      Very easy. 5% - basic understanding (present in the guide as well to my memory) about how wind, sails and keel(s) work together. 10% - when you get the cat, roll it upside down on a calm water and practice recovering from this state standing on a lower hull and pulling main sail rope over the upper one. Once you feel confident recovering from capsizing - remaining 85% are shown in this video.

    • @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214
      @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214 2 роки тому

      No at all. With the theory in mind, the biggest advantage is that this kind of boat it is very responsive ! With light winds on the sea near the beach or on any lake in one week you become confident !

    I want buy minicat guppy or minicat 420. please can you tell me advice. Guppy I think too small. Minicat 420 can i transport by car or bring to me when flight to holiday ? Easy to assembling it? (nice video dude)

    • @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214
      @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214 2 роки тому

      All models are good and well build. But below 320 models (guppy) you don t have front sail and you ll loose performance. All are easy assembling. Some 1.5 hours relax. From my point of view 420 it is the best. 2 bags appx. 80 kg total. You can take on top of the car and by plane for sure. It is a very fast boat trust me.

      Yes indeed. In short, in that lake, sailing close to the wind with violent currents and gusts is usual. My target is to keep as much tension as i can but keep the maximum speed at hy balance with small effort.

    Is it a good first sail boat for someone who's never sailed anything before (other than windsurf and kitesurf)?

    • @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214
      @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214 2 роки тому

      First you must know that minicat is a very good build small boat. Very fast and responsive. It doesn’t matter your level you’ll enjoy it ! If you practice windsurf already, you are not a beginner ! You already know how wind can be use. And not the last the advantage of easy assamble and transportation make it one of the best solution to own a sailing boat !

      @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214 2 роки тому

      By principal it’s easy to build by yourself, use the original cleat of main sheet system connected to traveler, and buy 2 triple pulley, plus near 8-10 sheet wich must be a little bit smaller in diameter. And… that’s it !

    @jeroenwillemse6425 3 роки тому

    Can you explain how it works? Why you do not capsize with the 6x1 ?

    • @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214
      @sailingminicatfrombeginner6214 3 роки тому

      Don’t misunderstand me. Capsizing is a problem of when not if, on this kind of vessel…. The ideea is that when minicat is overpowered (winds start from 8-10 knots from my experience) the default main sheet system is dificult to release or trim, the 6x1 pulley help you to make smooth adjustments. I realise that it is possible to keep it at limit very easy avoiding capsize at time.

    De ce nu utilizați si vela mare? Doar focul?

    • @user-hk4vu9mx4g
      @user-hk4vu9mx4g 3 роки тому

      Din doua motive. La acel moment nu aveam gopro-ul, si tineam telefonul intr o mana. Cand intru in marina focul ma ajuta mai mult cand trebuie sa ocolesc mooringurile de la intrare, spatiul este ingust si efectul focului este mai puternic decat al randei. Cand sunt deja pe locul de acostare eliberez si randa complet pt ca sigur la schimbarea directiei daca ma prinde o rafala sunt scos de pe pozitia aleasa.
