Catamarans are the perfect boats to dry out on a beach, or, as many do in tidal areas (including ourselves), use a half tide drying mooring. If the boat has daggerboards then sensibly the rudders should lift to avoid damage, especially if the tide/wind causes waves when refloating. I have used the method seen in this video for 40 years. Very simple and works easily. Please note that this boat is over 30 years old, and I had never tried to lift the rudders with one hand before! Hence the initial hesitation. They would lift more easily if the shafts were greased. A simple snap hook holds the rudder up. Some people use "dinghy style" lifting rudders but that means the blades stick out behind the boat, which has often led to breakages when in a crowded anchorage and unsuspecting dinghies pass in the night. This rudder system works exactly like a conventional semi-balanced rudder when it in the down position. And has the advantage that the whole rudder can be taken off the boat by simply undoing one bolt. And no shaft leaks either! The thin ropes led through blocks to a cleat on the tiller are connected to the outboard. So the engine turns with the rudders, significantly increasing manouverability!

Touring a TANKOA SUPERYACHT has been on our shortlist for a while, so you will see how excited we were to be onboard. This 164' / 49M SY "KINDA" is nothing short of spectacular and we will show you everything we can on this Tour. She is a True Luxury Yacht and a Charter Dream. We loved the spectacular Boat, picked up some NBBL items along the way, drooled over the Owner's Suite, and made sure to sneak into the crew area. Starting Price $38 Million. Enjoy the Tour! 😜 Let me know what you guys think of this one in the comments
