Probably one of the most extreme challenges that i've taken on.
Sailing from Half Moon Beach, near to Nidri, Lefkada to the Cave of Papanikolas on the Island of Kefalonia.

The hulls lost some pressure because when you put it in the water the air temperature dropped inside the chambers. Maybe finish inflating it with the boat in the water.

@JoyriderTV Ай бұрын

yes, I think you're right.

@MiniCat.Australia Ай бұрын

Or over inflate at the start - and yes for the small investment of a portable / rechargeable electric pump (which has a pressure gauge) is a good idea.

Yeah, on the German minicat website it's recommended to do at least 0,3 bar instead of the 0,25

If I may. I have a couple questions/video ideas… I heard you say on a podcast that your wife is a nurse. Mine is as well. Does she sail with you? Could you make a video about taking your partner sailing or a friend or a first timer sailing. Someone important to you that you’d want to hopefully get interested in sailing too? And a video about sailing watches. I always wear a watch and there’s so many options for gps, timers, etc for watches. What do you like? Thanks again man!

@JoyriderTV Ай бұрын

Thanks for the ideas. I'll see what I can do. Cheers

@cellarschmellar Ай бұрын

Great ideas, I'd watch these topics too

@MiniCat.Australia Ай бұрын

Strava - if you have anything that can connect to Strava and hence watch is waterproof I believe that’s your best option. It has a ‘sailing’ option to record in knots etc. plus the added benefit of the Strava community and setting segments for others to best etc.

First! Been binge watching your videos. Thanks for your efforts!

Please make more exploring videos! Like you said you live in lefkas and never been there! Inflatable cat is perfect for daily adventures. You can equip it with a small electric outboard (trolling motor) and a battery, it will save you from a lot of effort!

Ok Joseph, this seals the deal, you are definitely just a little nuts ! I loved your adventure to the cave. At least you did not try to sail the thing to the Bahamas ! Kinda like my recent adventure of circumnavigating Hilton Head Island. You coulda brought the pump with ya in case u needed a little more air in the hulls. Great job. Thanks for the video.

Cool spot & GREAT video! What do you think about the gennaker or code 0 kits for the 420? Looking into lake sailing in Arizona, USA

@JoyriderTV Ай бұрын

Great choice if you're wanting to cover more distance on the downwind. I haven't tried one on mine - and - it wouldn't have worked on this trip as it seemed to be upwind both ways!!

@thorng3931 Ай бұрын

I made the same experience with my rubber dinghy. You can inflate it 'till you think it wil nearly burst. But soon as it's in the water you may think there is a leakage. So it will always be a compromize.

@JoyriderTV Ай бұрын

Yes - I'd actually let it down a bit on the beach as it was so hot and it seemed so firm - should have left it!!

@alfreddaniels3817 Ай бұрын

I think the pressure is very important for a comfy quality sail on an inflatable. How about a small litium battery with airpump to keep the pressure perfect at all times?

@JoyriderTV Ай бұрын

Good idea!

@alfreddaniels3817 Ай бұрын

@@JoyriderTVon second thought: these large RV’s and trucks have automatic pressurecontrol permanently attached compressor on their tyres.

@@JoyriderTVI sailed a Tornado before and then an A-cat. But I am 70 now and wanted to sail larger distances solo and with more safety and shelter for myself. Very difficult to choose another cat or tree when you know a Tornado and an A-cat.
