Thanks for making these videos but another vote for no music in the future!

This video is the first I made, and the content was recorded without a mic, on a windy day. So the recorded audio is simply somewhat inaudible. I also got a bit carried away with the music, in subsequent videos I use a lot less music or none at all. Unfortunately I no longer have the original content material so I cannot do a re-do, this is all I have on this interesting subject. Despite the music, you can learn some sailing knowledge that you see nowhere else on the internet.

Very useful information. Thank you for your videos!!

Nicely taught. The only time I would use that particular technique is running slow down wind with plenty of room to maneuver. Jib only my boat will barely get above a broad reach. In high wind you would never catch me with my main down and jib up. Most sailing accidents I have seen on youtube are with boats running jib only in high wind getting slammed into jetties and piers. It probably works better on some boats, on my capri if I need to reach I need the main. Sailing is a very dynamic activity so it is nice to have the ability to go jib only if needed. Good job, not sure I have ever seen anyone teach that before. Fair winds.

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

Great video...very informative. New to sailing also. NIce to get this perspective sailing with just the jib. The music doesn't bother me - haha.

Great video. I just purchased a 1987 Pearson 31-2. Great to find instructional information on my new sailboat. I'm very new to sailing!

We don't really need any music, the sea is music. Maybe a future video showing the behavior of the telltales. Nice video!!!!!

Great video, I love watching you test different things. Going out sailing this weekend and will play a bit with the jib to test. We have a full keel, maybe dropping the jib is the best thing to do when we sail up wind. Make more videos! ;) The music make it hard to hear what you say, maybe it's ok if you like the music, but it's very distracting. I can play music in the background if I want to.

Great video!

Eliminate music all together.

Do those techniques also apply to a Catamaran? excellent info, thank you.

Pearson I think, 31 or 32ft we dont make em like that anymore...

Super video, I would think though about deleting the ones where the consensus is that the sound is annoying everyone. We are a pretty fickle lot here on KZfaq :) and very many people like me won't give a video a second chance, due to the competition and ease of clicking somewhere else. Your previous video was the first one KZfaq recommended to me, but it was so useful and well filmed (I wanted to get back out sailing right away!) I did get as far as this page. Well... this one is still irritating me and others sound wise, I think you would be better deleting it or re-doing the sound again, and getting people to have the best first impression.

It's more difficult to tack as the sail doesn't swing over as fast w/out the assistance of the mainsail.

One solution is to simply mute the original audio track in post production, then narrate your new vocal instruction track over the video in your home studio. Adobe Premiere and Final Cut does this well as do many others, some of them free. Add an audio-loop of the boat sailing through the water as another audio track for background sounds, using a vocal-free audio clip from the original recording. Best Adobe Premier video instruction I've found on YT is from Premiere Gal kzfaq.info/sun/PLDZSBjKu8PgIcSRKZ-UMeu27Tt8UzLfE_ Agree that EDM is not fitting for this series, guessing a son or grandson "helped out" there lol. All good, thanks for the vids!

Are you guys ok? Been a year since the last video upload.

Still broken. Annoying music still there. Sailing videos should have wind and water in the background, not music.

Agree, leave the music out.

You can mute the audio then re-record an audio track, it would take all of ten minutes. I find that the more professional the sailing organisation, the more lazy and mediocre their instructional videos (not to mention half the crew not being clipped in during rough weather, companionway wide open, etc). Many of the most helpful vids are by average Joes. Best wishes chaps!

turn the music off please. Cannot hear the voices

Even in this remastered version the music is way too loud...just get rid of it. Or it needs to be extremely soft, so that you just barely hear it in the background.

Vote for no music

To much background music.

Please lose the music 😂

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.

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.

No music at least when you are talking. It’s distracting and uneccessary to an otherwise interesting video. Thanks!
