When dropping the sail on any catamaran or sailboat, one must be careful and follow the steps in order especially if the winds are starting to pick up. This man climbs the mast aboard the Carino catamaran on a fairly calm day while trying to show some of the passengers on board on how this feat is accomplished.
Dropping the sail should always be done when the catamaran is heading into the wind as this will make it easier to get control of the sail. The boat will slow down, stop and start drifting backwards, so the skipper should always be in the wheelhouse to help keep the catamaran facing the wind.
