Sharing my passion & excitement of sailing my Hobie Trifoiler #41 hyrdrofoil sailboat. Less than 200 of these boats were built. When I sail, I am told... "I've never seen one of these! Is it new or a prototype?"
I am a self proclaimed "Gadget Geek", sometimes referred to as "Gadget Guy", by family. I have a passion for odd & vintage technical things, often ahead of their time. We live in a modern technological world. But at times I desire a less digital, analog world, that sill proves that technical fix I desire. Sailing fits that need for a speed rush nicely, as it is completely analog and very technical at this level. Mastering and expanding on the art of sailing has been one of my life's passions.
I like to take things apart, find out how they work, put them back together, make them better; that's we what engineers do, make things bet-er.
Enjoy my ride with me, I certainly am!

Why don't we have mountains in Florida? So many of the islands close by have them but we got zip. Not fair.
I saw a photo of that lighthouse with a man standing on the balcony while an enormous wave crashed all around it. Must be on the web somewhere. Glad to see you in safe harbor after a wonderful voyage. See you soon Buddy!
Didn’t know when
David, this was taken last night! 11/31/2023 Halloween Night! On Anna Maria Island, Bridge Street at the Bridge Tender Inn! Spooky night on Bridge Street last night!!!
4 inattentive diners in an 8x8 room. She acts as if she’s playing the Copacabana. Waving to imaginary people? Talk about over the top. Every vocal cliche in the book. This is out of a Fellini movie. Jeez.
Let’s go fishing!
Nice stalls
I would love to see how fast this would move at the Gorge. Or maybe it couldn't handle the wind there?
I wonder if it only foils on beam reaches
A Trifoiler can sail a couple of degrees above 90 to the true wind direction. Trifoilers can also remain on the foils through a turn into the wind (tack) & with the wind behind your stern (gybe). However when you’re on the foils your apparent wind never gets behind you. So a gybe is actually a tack! Let that sink in…
absolutely not please don’t omg
Beautiful ⛵
Me urge
Una pregunta delos Mariariachis o un número
p.o.s. video!
There was one time I was windsurfing I stopped by choice and so did the wind kind of how this video ended.
What was the true wind speed?
Great recommendation! Thank you!
Es muy estable!!
Love it!
Omg That woman isn’t even paying attention On her phone!!! Get a life
Ouch.lol
johnnt domoond
How fast does that thing travel with just a sail??
sailing F1!
I am building a sailing...thing, and this might be the solution.
Put a 10k pricetag and this thimg would SELL nowdays
Excellent. Outstanding.
Outstanding.
😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
whistles DEMONICALLY at speed and turns right and left like the train wonderful view
I think 🤔 I can figure out how this thing is made......... but are there any plans for a DIY version. It doesn’t look like it would be that expensive to make. I’ll be very happy even if my prototype goes only half as fast !!!!! Does anybody know who has plans on how to make one ☝️. If not, I’ll just have to make one on try and see. 🤔 The need for speed........ Thank you for sharing.
Hi Joe, any progress with your modernized Trifoiler? I have same thoughts you have :-) Greetings Sam
@@SamuelLanghorn No......... Too busy working........ but maybe soon. Now that I might be semi-retirement in a year or so. 😂🤣😂🤣 I do like how fast that set up is. I thought my fourteen foot “Láser” was fast, but this thing is worth copying.
@@joetrump5844 I just discovered the TF and I am reading a bit about the pros and cons. Looks like there are two options: - build a replica - morph into a modernized version that overcomes the problems you might have in your particular location I live in the SF Bay area, there is no beach, I would have to launch from a boat ramp.. Obviously many have tried all kind of concepts, none really seems too convincing. I am curious where you will move your design.... and when you will start building it :-)
@@SamuelLanghorn My design will be nothing special....... It will be more like a sailing canoe....... But with the outriggers out a little more than normal........ for stability......and each with a mast like a “Laser”. Even if it doesn’t foil....... I’m sure it will be faster than a mono haul. Start of project.......... less than a year. 🤩
Wickedly Fast and Rock Solid in Stability Without super athletic techniques
Still the most incredible sailboat out there. All things considered, nothing else on the water compares.
😂😂😂
Meraviglioso
Damn this town needs you guys back together!
Damn I miss you guys!
Too bad yall are not around anymore.
Wow, totally practical! ;-)
I never understood why such a huge leap in sailing performance was ignored for 25(?) years. Why did this boat disappear? The first time I saw one was a perfect day for it. The damn thing was passing powerboats and turning like a go-kart. My girlfriend reached over and lifted my dangling chin.
Well the center bar is at neck level so if one of the outriggers hit something it wouldn't be too hard to get decapitated. Seems like an easy fix with a cage around the cockpit. Looks like a lot of fun though.
There's nothing quite like waking up in the morning drinking a cup of coffee and listening to some good music.
Are they still around?
My dream yacht!
My favorite hollow body you play!
Great rendition! No one tops the Trio!
Beautiful piece of work! Shaun, thanks for writing a wonderful melody.
Move on over to check out Displace and Chris Sgammato! They are awesome!
apologize for a quick question. Are the sails smaller as the normal size?
didn't we meet some years ago? I developed Expandacraft modular boats and Have plans to foil it one day.
SHIT music...
way too hard to watch, didnt know what was going on, that music is so bad . i thought they stopped making that noise in the 80s.
where do you get the worst music I have ever heard. Would have been good but need to turn the sound off. Bad bad music
Love this Trio! Nothing else like them!
