A-Class Catamaran - Jibes and light wind foiling up to 20kn - capsize and righting

Due to viewers request to show maneuvers, I focused this time on jibes. There is lots of room for improving my jibes, but I still hope it is helpful to show them and how to get the A-Cat flying in light winds of 7ish knots, what is the bare minimum.

There is a great capture of a classic jibing mistake leading to a capsize with instructions on what went wrong and what to do better. With the new camera angles there is also a nice capture of the righting procedure, hopefully that helps newcomers.

The new camera mount on the boom works really well, but required me to change the way I move the tiller to the other side of the boat, as the camera mount elongates the boom by 1 meter. so in case you think my jibes could be faster, I do agree, but its less the tiller ;-)
