Advanced Sail Trim Made Easy, Part 1

To get the fastest speed we need the shape the sail for the best airflow. Because of the effects of apparent wind and the change wind speed with altitude the apparent wind direction changes with height above the water. In this video I show how to safely adjust the Jib or genoa sheet traveler (Fairlead) and how to use a series of telltales to know when the sail twist is correct. This is the first video in a series on sail trim for speed.

I love these 3-5 minute videos that are straight to the point without a bunch of filler.

This is the first time someone has explained why and how to adjust the jib cars on the track thanks.

“If you’re like me and most sailors and there’s any other boats on the water... oh! We’re racing!” So, so true!

This is by far the best explanation of trim that I have come across.

I’m a novice sailor and have been wondering how to go about safely adjusting the working jib car without having to tack away and tack back. This is the first tutorial I’ve encountered that addresses this question and provides clear explanation of methods to make adjustments to the working sheet. Thank you!

These video's are a MUST for every sailor. Not many people know what to do with the sheet traveler!

@eventhisidistaken 4 жыл бұрын

yep. All I knew was in lighter wind, move it forward, and in heavier wind, bring it back, but I didn't really know why.

9-4-18. Very well done/explained/shown video lesson!!! Thank you. My wife and I were just out sailing. We were trying to learn about and figure out just the adjustments you began with this lesson. Looking forward to continuing with learning adjustments for our Genoa headsail. We have an o'day222 and love it. Ken

@CaptainLang are you still producing content? I just want to say all of your videos are extremely clear and helpful, I appreciate the work you've done thus far!

@CaptainLang Жыл бұрын

Yes, I have not made any new content in quite a while. Several plans for making more videos, but boat maintenance and personal issues keep delaying them. Hopefully by the end of summer I will have uploaded them.

Great video. Finally get why sail TWIST is important. One small error is that at 4:01 you say jib halyard, when I think you mean jib SHEET.

Thank you for your comment on "TWIST" and yes I occasionally get words wrong and that includes calling my daughters by the wrong name too.

Thanks Captain! I love this miniseries and I've watched it a couple of times already. Would love it if you'd expand it even more, with cunningham, vang, outhaul etc. All the best!

...as general rules, you want everything tighter upwind, and looser downwind. Also, flatter in heavy wind and more curved in light wind.
