We are off! It’s time to pack up our mighty ship and leave the boatyard. We are not quite finished with the upgrades but it’s definitely time to get out of the boatyard and do some cruising.
We are some of those crazy people who weigh everything that we put on Paikea. This episode it’s all about why. Why you need to keep track of how heavy your boat is and why it’s critical to safety and performance. We talk about why you shouldn’t make your multihull too heavy (or too light) and the advantages for keeping your boat in that sweet spot.
Shayne also reveals a neat little trick for monitoring if your boat is sitting too low in the water. If you would like to see more on how to make reference marks on your hull then check out our blog post here
In this video we explore the topic of whether your sidestays should break before your catamaran flies a hull.
