With in minutes you will be able to create hundreds of soft shackles in seconds like we do in the video. While we still prefer to make the version which do require some simple splicing due to the extra strength and they give you can not go past this video to learn how to make them in seconds. We will tech you how to turn a meter of any rope into a shackle that has 100's of use case in less than 10 second. This is the new must have skill for anyone how sails, allowing you to create spare parts on the fly. Once you have mastered the soft shackles in this video we do recommend you learn the upgraded version that require some splicing and advance knot tying skills. While is is more complicated than the simple options you now know it is well worth learn all the varieties, it is easier than you think !!! The following soft shackle play list has all the video you require to be rigging like a pro :- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMoCfFBA9IMXC6P0b6Ql8822sZnthEYfk The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you enjoyed our soft shackle video, if you have made it this far please be sure to like and share the video before subscribing to our channel so you get notified of all of our content as soon as it is released.

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! I write more about steering systems on my website, see here https://www.sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/19-faqs/sailing-and-performance-questions/109-which-steering-system-should-i-use
