Sailing a boat relies on several things to be aligned. This video shows the six things that we think are important. They are Wind awareness, Sail Setting, Boat Balance, Boat Trim, Course sailed, Centreboard position. In this video we show you what to do with each of them. When aligned you will sail better and in more control. Sailing is a skill that is a combination of the 6 factors we show you. By mastering these you will quickly identify yourself what to do when afloat. These essential skills are the basis of everything to do in the boat. It applies to small boats but also larger yachts although these are less manoeuvrable

I just watched this and around 8-10 more on the same subject. Though this one leaves me wanting to know a lot more about sailing into the wind, it is by far the best out of the videos I found on sailing. The others didn't teach much at all, they just showed some one sailing and saying (not explaining) what they were doing. Explaining is what is crucial for learning quickly.

Great videos thanks! Out of interest, what difference will the centreboard make having it 3/4 up on a training run vs down? During training years ago I always forgot this rule and the centreboard stayed down the entire trip. Cheers

@sailaboattv 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Ted. It depends on how fast you are going. When on a training run there is less sideways pressure as the force of the sail goes more to the front. This means less centreboard is needed. This means less drag. The boat will sail better with the centreboard raised when on a run. Hope that helps!

@ted8831 3 жыл бұрын

@@sailaboattv OK thanks for that! I wondered if less drag may of been the case. And hi from NZ! Cheers

I bought a sunfish for $400 years ago and learned it with no help. I still don't understand all the sailing lingo. I'm that dude that says left and right, or forward or sideways. I call my lines the "sail lifting line" and the "sail pulling line." But, I'm picking up some good knowledge from this video. Any tips to help me sail better and faster are appreciated. And to be honest, I don't want to learn proper sailing terminology; I think it makes some of these people sound like pretentious assholes. I'll stick with being the "cousin Eddie" of sailors. Have fun fellow wind catching water vehicle dudes!

@sailaboattv 4 жыл бұрын

Glad we are helping. There are no rules that say you have to learn the lingo. Just get out there and have fun. We have to use the lingo to be on standard. Good luck Cousin Eddie! Sunfish is a good boat to play in

10:43 - Whats going on there? In either shot the Jib is backed? Not a good thing to show in a training video without mentioning it. People learning are just feeling their way. That image is wrong and should be held up as such. Other than that Good stuff. Luv and Peace.

Thanks for your comment. You are mistaken the Jib is not backed here. The sunlight on the sail may make you think this but it most definitely was not backed at that point

@@sailaboattv You're right. The sun was shadowing the sail. My bad.
