Whats the shit loud music about makes the video not worth the bother! 👎

How do you know how many feet of anchor ride you are putting in the water?

Thanks!

My problem is trying that without lazy jacks

Really love how you make a vid on how to tack when cruising, but you got to have that hardstyle music😅

Great video 👍

Please lose the music 😂

Please note, one short blast - leaving you to my port may also be explained as altering course to starboard. Similarly, two short blasts - leaving you to my starboard may also be described as altering course to port. See IMO COLREGs Part D Rules 32-37.

Thanks a lot - clear and easy to follow, most useful for me!

What I like to do when the jib does not want to fly, is to trim the mainsail a bit, so that it creates a little forward airflow into the jib. But to be honest I am not sure if this actually increases the speed, because the mainsail may work a bit less optimal. And of course it increases the chance of an accidential gibe a bit. Thanks for the great videos!

Great, thanks

I wish I knew which shackles to use on the top and bottom of the head roller. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, why don’t you just put a couple of turns of the halyard around the drum, and then go forward with the bitter end and you can raise and Feed at the same time?

Thanks so much!! We just bought a Cape Dory 25 and couldn’t figure out how to set this up.

This is a well explained tutorial of upwind sailing! Thanks for taking the time in preparing all the material and producing the video. Much appreciated.

OMG this is a great video. We your procedure and the only thing the stumped us was our halyard had a bunch of twists in it. When we raised the halyard it would wrap it self around the furler shaft. We un did the bowline knot from the top of the furler, took the twists out of the halyard rope and retied the halyard to the top of the furler mechanism and bingo, the halyard raised the sail with the expected effort and did not twist around the upper furler shaft (tube?). Thanks so much for this video.

Well explained. Just a question-how come you seem to wind the winch in both directions?

Great suggestions! My husband and I have just started sailing and the first time out w wind and engine sound we couldn't hear each other. Needless to say, the sign language we were using... wasnt very nice. Appreciate your videos.

You can't imagine how this video helped me learn those basics. Thank you very much sir.

Some times you watch the show... some times you are the show.

Spring line is key 👍

Great video - just what I was looking for. I liked the music - people are miserable

Do you route your jib sheets aft outside the shrouds then back through the life lines at the car or do you leave them routed inside the shrouds and life lines directly from the clew to the car? Thank you

You should get rid of the music altogether. It’s a sailing video, not a boring work safety video you’re being forced to watch…and that’s definitely the kind of music they use for those work safety videos. Either way, the music makes it hard to hear what you’re saying.

Brilliant why does this not show up when you search sail trim vids?

Thanks. As an ocasional sail trimmer, Its nice to have a visual aid.

⛵️👏⛵️👏

Thank you so much! It was a valuable lesson on trimming, but significantly more important, on how to talk to your crew, captain! Fair winds ... ⛵️

Thank you so much for the video. Been looking for this for a long time and now I know how it is done.

i enjoy this music and vibes! also the powerpoint

Your music sucks

Can't hear the voice, obnoxious music !!😢

Please, please stop the music. Can't hear your voice. It's a shame cause I really do want to hear what you are saying.

Interesting COB manoeuvre, which is ok if you have very little wind or waves. But this is possibly a big problem if wind and waves are strong, you furl the jib, and can’t get the motor started or don’t have one, then you don’t have the jib to help with steerage and control, and you could end up hitting the COB or are not able to get close enough, wasting valuable time.

sailing is easy, put canvas up and the boat moves... the skill in sailing comes from knowing all the secrets of trimming that cloth for best efficiency. Thanks for these videos, now i have something else to adjust on my boat next time im out. Cheers!

Thx, but unwatchable for me due to the loud background music

Don't get it.

I see this video was uploaded about 7 yrs ago. Did you ever get around to mending the leech and leech line of your sail? ;-(

Dont use jib alone in fractional rigs can be dismasted while sailing under jib alone.

I love your videos but the music needs to go or be turned down

Thanks very much, your video was very helpful to me. It looks like you're sailing a Pearson! I have a Pearson 28-2. This is Robert in Sverna Park, MD.

That was a very good demonstration

For me, your videos are the clearest explanation of basic sailing techniques. Sailing tomorrow in Kaoshiung, Taiwan.

I adjust my blocks another way. I put my boat on course and trim the jib then look at my telltails if the top are lifting but middle and bottom are streaming then block goes forward if bottom are hanging and middle and top are streaming I move it aft. I don’t have to luff up to see what adjustment I need . I feel it is a easy way to set the jib block and have been doing that way for 50 years. I do have to luff the jib to release sheet tension move block forward

Excellent video. One small note about the line making all parts of the sail equally twisted. While it helps to say it that way to simplify explaining the principles, in practice, the top half has to be more twisted than the bottom, simply because there's typically more wind at the top. This is typically how the sails are cut. More twist at the top than at the bottom, by default. You can verify this by looking towards from the bottom of the forestay.

Thank you! Yall make things so clear.

Thank you, answered a few questions I had.

Does this apply for other wind direction

Wow. If that's remastered I really wouldn't want to see the previous version. Terrible music too!

Good video..would be much better without that stupid music

Where is the h in dinghy?very good. Most sailors dont know. I normally like to put the dinghy on the deck. More work, more security!
