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!

We are stepping up the level of these moves with a 10 lb plate! If you don’t have a plate, no worries, you can also do all these exercises without weight as well. 👉🏽 Abs definitely are ‘made in the kitchen’ (aka, if you eat like crap, these exercises won’t give you a 6-pack), however, they will help to strengthen your core overall! Here’s the breakdown: Perform each exercise for 30 secs (40 secs if you want a challenge). Rest 10 seconds between each one. 3 rounds total! TRAIN WITH ME!
