This video explains how to tack a cruising sailboat, covering the roles of both the helmsman and crew in the tacking procedure, and should be of interest to both learning and experienced sailors. The instructions focus on a safe and repeatable maneuver, suitable for everyday use. Shortcuts and advanced techniques for racing may come in a later video.

Informative video but music is very distracting.

Good order and structure in tacking and gybing thàt you dont find in other videos. Nice job 👍.

Great stuff. Very clear and all the right points covered. The only improvement I can suggest would be to lower the music in the sound mix: it blocks the voice-over in a few places.

Nice video. The jumping around didnt even both me since the instructional content was there. Repetition is a good way to drive the point home.

your videos are detailed and excellent teaching. However the music needs to be lowered in volume in several spots on all your videos-you have a great teaching voice! Don't let it get drowned out. :)

As usual, an excellent video - slow moving (enough time for a viewer to digest) and very detailed. The only 2 suggestions I have, if you don't mind of course are: 1. The music is very loud at times. Sometime it makes it hard to hear the words. 2. Why not use 2 winch handles - one on each side of the boat, instead of always moving it from one side to the other?

Having two genoa winch handles would be sweet, but a new one is $100+ and we unfortuantely are trying to sail on a bit of a budget...

Thankx, very good teachings. Only the music is a little nerv wrecking.

Thanks, it is actually a smaller sister the P31-2. I will publish a video of that boat shortly.

What actions are needed on the main sheet?

@SailFanatics Жыл бұрын

None ... other than if the traveller is not trimmed in the center position. If so, after the tack, adjust the traveller to mirror its position on the prior tack
