Thank you. I was unaware of the extent of the backwind area or that it can provide a lift when sailing through on the opposite tack.

A well done video. Kudos. An old flight instructor after aerodynamics courses always said that if I can help you with this course to see the wind and recognize how alive it is then I’ve done my job.

Never heard of the backwind zone before "and the other things too" (JFK Ref;), I 'm learning a lot with you. Never been a racer, more of a blue waters sailor though. From The Glénan Sailing School , France, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

on 13:00 isn't green on starboard instead of port?

@o.h.w.6638 5 жыл бұрын

That font is SO small. When listing boats say “yellow” or “blue” instead of coloring boats AND also numbering them then calling for the number. Way too hard to see and follow along. Thx.

Thanks Olivia. I'll keep this in mind for the next slide show. Sorry for the late response. I'm not getting notified when people make comments.
