#shorts Caught a shark! First shot fishing from the main boat rather than our dinghy. Set up a rig for one foot off bottom. Cast out, 20 mins later hooked up a small nurse shark. Wasn’t what we we looking for. But a beautiful little critter non the less. Interesting first catch from the deck of Sweet Pea!

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!

► Full article in MW194: https://www.multihulls-world.com/information-catamaran-charter/caribbean/saint-lucia-a-stopover-not-to-be-missed-saint-lucia ► For a long time, the organizers of the ARC were faced with difficulties regarding the reception of multihulls: in a port, the latter obviously take up more space than the monohulls... In the end, the general success of this transatlantic -supervised rally and the ever more pressing demand from owners of catamarans and trimarans led the World Cruising Club to organize a second rally – the ARC + –, then a third – the ARC January. As a result, since the pressure on marinas has subsided, there have been more multihulls every year: there were 33 at the start of the ARC "historic canal" in 2022, 37 last year and 44 this year - we have them found in Saint Lucia in the Rodney Bay marina! ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
