Sailing a Strike 18 trimaran by Woods Designs. Video was taken on its second sail before fitting the trampolines and deck cushions. You can build this boat yourself in plywood. I also have a smaller Strike 16 and a more performance oriented Strike 15. As well as dozens of other multihull designs, both power and sail, that you can build.

If you like this quick preview and want to learn more the link below has a full video tutorial on how to Gybe your A-Sail on the outside in any wind conditions. https://youtu.be/izvjlOoak8Y An A-Sail can also been know as an Asymmetrical Spinnaker, regardless of what you call it the skills need to gybe on on the inside are the same. Being able to gybe the A-Sail effectively on the inside you limit the travel the sheets need to tack reducing the time it takes to gybe the sail which limits the loss of boats speed while reducing the likelihood of tangles. If you are sailing a boat with a short bow sprit it can be safer to gybe your A-Sail on the outside, this reducing the risk of getting a messy and time consuming forestay wrap. If you need to master this skill you can learn how in one of our earlier bottom up boats videos. https://youtu.be/I6NPfpa_V_E The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoys the speed session crew demonstration. With a little bit of practise and every crew member knowing they role you will be gybing like pros in no time.
