Joyrider TV is one of the best channels on YouTube for catamaran sailing tutorials, maintenance, Q+As and great small cat sailing content.

Whether you sail a Hobie, Nacra, Aclass, acat, Prindle, Hurricane, Dart, Windrush, Tornado, Unicorn, F18, F16, Supercat, Thundercat, Dragoon or even a Minicat, you'll find something here to help you. Due to popular demand i've been out to see how much wind it takes to right the Hobie 16 with 85kg of crew weight.

If it is windy enough (20 knots +) then it is definitely possible. Otherwise you either need outside assistance or some kind of device such as a bag:

Our Cat Righting Big Bag System is a must for solo or lightweight crews to feel confident being able to right a capsized catamaran. It is powerful enough to right bigger cats without loosening shrouds. and is easy to install with no boat modification required. The bag attaches with hook and loop straps under the tramp for easy use and storage. Class legal for racing! Theoretical maximum capacity of the 18″ x 32″ bag is 250 lbs. The included 4:1 block and tackle kit does the heavy lifting for you! Complete and ready for use with blocks, cam cleats and 1/4″ lines.

or a righting frame/pole:

When a capsize occurs, get the bows of the boat into the wind to put less load on the boat and righting system and make it easier to right. To right the boat, simply release the bungee that holds the pole out of the water and swing the pole out so it is perpendicular to the boat’s fore/aft. Now, to get more righting leverage, raise the pole to around 40° above the straight-out position and then slip the stopper knot through the beam loop so it is ahead of the beam loop. Now, reach out and grab the pole at the end and hang onto it. The boat should comeup very quickly. Once the boat is up, release the stopper knot on the righting line from the beam loop and get back on the boat. After the boat is underway, the pole will come straight back in alignment to bungee back to the rear beam. Then off you go!
