Impressive

Why is every video of a weta either slowed down or sped up? These things must be seriously slow......

What a team! And some great camera work too!

Great stuff but how bout some action shots too? I miss my Weta 😁

Good times! Watched a few WETA tris racing, would love to take one out one day.

Without watching, I'm pretty confident it's by turning the rudder by 90 degrees, easing the mainsail, and pray to God you don't pitchpole?

😃😃😃Great fun. Is it called a Weta because it's a lot wetter than slow boats 🤭? Glad the girls enjoyed it.

Just look at the weather and sea conditions in these glamour clips, kids.

The master at work…play.

Would not try to do that in Lake Superior, USA, where the water is always about 60 degrees!

1 reason not to sail this. Not portable

As a beach cat sailor we would first take the mainsheet system off the sail to prevent a new capsizing just after the boat comes up and to release the water on top of the main more quickly. Also a help-line attached to the mast makes it safer to lean backwards in order to push the lee-float under without the need to climb onto the slippery centreboard. This is particularly important for your own safety in big waves and you,ve got a rope to hold onto just in case you maybe slammed off by the motions of the boat. So that line we attach to the foot of the mast and take the other end to either side of the boat where we need it. Also when you sail with two people on board they need something to hold onto and not loose contact with the boat.

Very very briljant in its simplicity. 👍👍 perhaps some time could be saved if you leave the halyards ( and maybe even the forestay with jib attached) on the topend of the mast with a sleeve around it. That’s basically what you do with the bowsprit as well is’nt it?

Any plans to update this video for the newest model? I know there are now some differences with the new boat setup & design. Received mine and I see some challenges for my 1st setup!

I got my Weta in May 2010 and enjoy sailing it just for fun. I store mine in my garage, so it kept out of the weather and we don't have to pay a storage fee.

Nice, I'm a paraglider pilot now living in a place that is rarely flyable, just bought a Weta looking forward to seaborn flying 😁

讚 b^^

Excellent instruction! Thanks

Awesome!

Very good video. I recently purchased a Weta. I have a harness, but it is to short. I see yours has an extension, where can I find one?

Soo cool, keep going! :) Would love to sailing Weta with my children

Good times bro 👍🍺 Weta looks like a tiny package of fun!

I've had my Weta since 2010 and have been very happy with it. Had previous sailed different catamarans (Hobie 14 & 16 and Supercat 17) and while those are fun, I wanted to try something different. I hadn't had a down wind sail before, which really is nice. I also wanted a boat that I could sail solo and could fit into my garage for storing it out of the weather and sun. Another advantage is its narrow width (5 feet) when hauling on trailer to improve visibility when changing lanes (expands to 11.5 feet for sailing). The boat is very light weight, 220 lbs fully rigged, which helps it be fast on the water. Weta can kind of take off when it gets up on a plane.

Incredible!!!

Very good teacher.

Nice little tri, but why was it named of an ugly roach type bug?

If you use a soft shackles to connect your jib sheets you can leave your bowlines tied and quickly attach sheets or change position on the jib

Nice… The boat looks nice too.

What's the sail made of, Dacron, Nylon or Laminated carbon?

Great boat - I would love to try one.

Hi, im from Brazil. How can i buy a weta trimaran?

How big of waves can you do this in? Presumably cant do it in 3ft waves???

Fun times 👍

Another reference on a Weta videoclip to '25 knots'. Do you really sail single handed in 25 knots? I find that the boat is unmanageable in that windspeed in the presence of other boats (ie if you can't bear away or luff when you want to). Apart from anything else you cannot see anything in the spray. Or am I just getting old and weeny?

Good times, maybe a weta one day...

Was anyone super impressed by that?

What speed indicator are you using there?

Congratulations! Can imagine that was great fun. Good memories come up again from the 2017 WMG. Great experience, beautiful places. Miss it!

Bravo.

2.46 - You have a very Tolerant Child. Still carrying a smile but I think she would prefer something drier to carry the Spangles and Leed to the Treasure Island. ;-)

Great video! Great boat!

that container ship though...

Can u get a hydro foil on them?

Ok.................in this video every time Roger tacks, the sail flaps as he goes through the wind and when established on the new close hauled course he has to pull the sheet in. Are we sure this is a self tacker? In the third video he seems to have refined his technique and the jib seems to come across without any attention to the sheets. Furthermore, the Ancient Mariner ( who must now be 73 or 74) seems to have got his bum onto the rail where he is at least partially out of the spray. This video seems to be a much better advert for the self tacker than the first one. Or am I missing something? George Morris (79)

Good times!

Wicked! 💪🍺

Awesome little boat! 👍

25 knots?

you need a tiny manual air valve at front of float to let air out.

Why do you have to go into waist deep water to get under way?
