![]() ![]() I wanted to keep it super simple so it was easy, safe and quick to use, I just tied a piece of strong Dyneema around the cross brace for the first few goes and attached the chicken loop straight to a loop in the rope. What adjustments did you have to make to attach the chicken loop to the mastfoot? The 18 also has dagger boards which helps go upwind, I have experimented with and without the boards, you only need one dagger board on the leeward side to help go up wind, but you can stay upwind no problem without the dagger boards. The Hobie 18 is particularly well suited to kite boating as it has a long flat rocker line, apparently the smaller 16ft cats have more rocker so in theory they wont be as fast and good upwind. I just took all the rigging off the boat, and got a custom outboard bracket made (check out the video). It was easier to turn it into a kite boat than it was to try and sail it. I remembered I was a part owner in a Hobie Cat 18 that was just sat rotting in a boat yard and never used, so I convinced the boys to let me turn it into a kite boat!ĭid the Hobie Cat need much work to get it sea worthy? During the lockdown I had a eureka moment and realised I need to start smaller and build something within my means to test it and generate some interest behind the project. ![]() Hey Rou! All good thanks! Yes its been super fun, I have been interested in kite boats for a long time, I grew up sailing in small sailing dinghy’s before I kited, and back in the day I tried using my Topper sailing dinghy as a kite boat with my first ever kite with virtually no depower and it worked pretty good! I’ve always thought there is so much potential for kite boats, over the years I have done research, made proposals and I spoke to boat builders about trying to build a badass kiteboat that could cross oceans, but it would cost such a vast amount of money to even design such a boat, let alone build one. Most famously Don Montague was all in a while back, so it was great to see a resurgence in the form of Sam Light’s Hobie Cat conversion, we just had to sit down with him and get the low down! The Kite Boat Project, it looks like it’s been an exciting journey, where did it all start? Kite boats have been around for a while, and we’ve always featured them as an interesting concept. Bringing back memories of Don Montague’s efforts from the past, we caught up with Sam to get the lowdown on his own interpretation that he has been working on. I just don't think it deserves the hate.Sam Light has been pumping out the YouTube content lately, but his Kite Boat Project videos really caught our eye. You should do the same and judge for yourself. I rarely listen to what reviewers say about a movie before watching it first. I found this movie much funnier than TED, which also was pretty dumb. ![]() This one deserves at least a 7 star rating. The plot is simple, the jokes aren't clever but funny, the actors are doing a more than well job. I watched this expecting it to be really dumb, but enjoyable and it surpassed my expectations. If you're a fan of cleverly written scripts & wants to watch a classy comedy film well, this movie is a total waste of time for you. Toilet humor, foul mouths, racist stereotypes, offensive parodies & a few references that will be totally unexpected. There's plenty of different kinds of jokes in here. If you are a typical fan of the humor in Family Guy, South Park etc you will enjoy. So bottom line: If you like stupid & silly comedies with racist jokes & stereotypes, go watch this one. People are stupid enough to go watch it knowing what type of movie this is and expecting it to be something it's not. I don't understand why people go into movies like these expecting them to be some kind of comical masterpiece when the trailer was clear enough about it just being another random & dumb slapstick comedy. All the actors did a great job (even the small rolls), the jokes weren't all over the place & it was actually quite enjoyable. A lot of reviewers tend to review this movie as like it is trying to be an Oscar movie. So, If you are a fan of Family Guy or Ted's humor, you will probably like this movie. However, he does manage to create a somewhat funny movie that can be enjoyed. It's clear that Seth McFarlanes humor isn't classy, clever or original. It's just a very funny and immature slapstick comedy. But this is the thing it's not intended to be a classy, heartfelt comedy. Sure, there's the recycling gag thingy people complain about, there's potty humor and swears. ![]() This movie has gotten sh*t from a lot of reviewers. ![]()
