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

PREPARING COCKPIT: Singlehanded Docking Stern To with Lazy Lines Value of set up is often under-rated. Here's video 4 in Nicks step by step process getting set up and ready for Singlehanded Docking Stern To with Lazy Lines. =========================== Watch the full video here - https://youtu.be/-OPs960oR88 Transcript: I'm also going to make sure that my everything's ready. That there's nothing in the cockpit that's going to interrupt me. So like I've got these lovely cushions down here for the photo shoot. That's great. But I'm going to want to step up over these if I want to get out of this side of the cockpit with the line. So I'm getting rid of that uh the tables are up and there's nothing going to fall off here. I'm going to do this other side pillow as well. Also preparing me. All right. I'm going to get warm doing this. So I don't need this jacket on anymore. As much as I love wearing the brand -then double checks! What do I need ready. I need my bow thrusters and Stern thrusters ready. If I've got them and I want to use them they're turning on. Just make sure there's no switches that need to go on all of a sudden. I double check my lines. Yes these are all set up. Fenders, fenders nothing slipped off. And always check this! Make sure this is not actually caught up. The number of times I put that line out first then tied this fender on and it's hooked under it so just always double check! =========================== Filmed and Edited by Mahina Hathaway and Nick Hathaway, 45 Degrees Sailing Looking to sail in Croatia?
