Hi Joe, Another great video. When dropping the main sail, the crimp that locks the sail at the top of the mast is that meant to go down the sail track or outside?
Inside Because of the “wheel” on top, the halyard is inside aft and foward the mast So as not to slip off the track of the “wheel” when hoisting or dowsing Dang near impossible to hoist while out on the water, possible but really really hard😜
Nice sails. Thanks for this video. I didn’t think that it was possible to lower the main sail while on the water. I have to go out in front of my HC16 to release the cable nugget from the camel’s toe. I’d like to see you paddle the HC16 while steering. Do you sit on the front of the trampoline and paddle with both arms for a while and then alternate that with steering (with tiller extension)? Maybe sit on the tiller to keep rudders set and stable while paddling?
If the wind is that light i would set the rudders straight - maybe even tie them with a bungee, and then lie on the foredeck to paddle most efficiently.
What is the tie method being used at 3:03? I have had that moment at 2:57 where I wish my halyard was about 10 inches longer. Your method for attaching looked much easier to tie/untie than what I'm doing.
Great video Joe. It looks like you'r shackled end of the main halyard is different than what we have in the US. Do you have a picture of that setup? The version we have fails at the same spot repeatedly.
Great Video! Thanks
Glad you liked it! I'm never sure how useful these kind of videos are going to be, so thanks.

Outside the track is better as it's less likely to jam or scratch the inside.

I'll make a short video to show how.
Nothing more annoying than a halyard that's slightly too short.
Thanks
What have you attached to the bows? Floatation to prevent pitchpoles??
It’s more of a deflector. But correct.
It's the anti pitchpole hydrofoil!

I think that maybe it's because our main halyards are outside of the mast track - could that be it?
@@JoyriderTV Ours are on the outside too. We have a stainless wire with a shackle permanently attached that is swaged to the halyard rope.
It's very nice to show us the possibilities of hobie16, thank you😀 Could you put the subtitles in "multi languages" please? 😁
Oh yes, i'll do that now - it usually takes a day before it's possible.
