Solo Sailing A Fast Trimaran: Rudder Failure At 16 Knots!

Experience extreme solo trimaran sailing as we push a Corsair 750 Dash across the Swedish archipelago, hitting 16.2 knots before dealing with a sudden rudder failure at full speed.

But when you are flying a lightweight trimaran on one float, the sea always has other plans! Join us as we slice through narrow island channels, run wing-on-wing with the gennaker, inspect world-class vintage 12-Metre racing yachts in Marstrand, and manage a high-speed steering breakdown when our rudder shear bolt snaps near shallow rocks. 🎬 What is featured in this video? ⚓ Solo sailing tactics on a lightweight Corsair 750 Dash trimaran ⛵ Running wing-on-wing with the gennaker through tight rocky channels 🌊 Walking the docks in Marstrand among legendary 12-Metre America’s Cup yachts 🛥️ Emergency at sea: Replacing a broken rudder shear pin under way 🔧 High-speed reaching in 20 knots of wind, setting a top speed of 16.2 knots 💨 Custom trampoline gear storage modifications for trimaran lines 🧰 Cruising insights on keeping multihulls safe from capsizing 🛟 Whether you love performance multihulls, singlehanded coastal navigation, or classic yacht craftsmanship, this journey shows the raw thrills and real challenges of fast trimaran sailing.
