Hi Sudhanshu! Could you please explain your question a little more? Is it a question about your body height or something with the boat? -Allison

The presentation and the content are excellent. My only problem is with the editing .......it's all cut too quickly together and makes it feel really frantic. Slow it down a bit and it would be so much better.

Re 2:55 "one of the big reasons why you would switch from wing-on-wing to both sails on same side is if you were going to sail down in puffs and sail up in lulls." Are you able to provide a bit more info on this. It seems when both sails are on same side, we have flow over both sides of sail (so sails are acting like and airfoil), whereas when sails are on opposite sides there is no flow on leeward side and the wind is simply pushing the sails/boat. The following diagram en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_diagram_%28sailing%29#/media/File:Downwind_polar_diagram_to_determine_velocity_made_good_at_various_wind_speeds.jpg seems to suggest that at low wind speeds I would sail on a reach (both sails on same side) regardless of whether I was in a puff or lull, whereas at strong wind speeds I should sail wing on wing. So it seems not so much whether i'm in a puff/lull but what the wind speed actually is. Thoughts?
