Attach a small cleat, ring, or handle? Hope this helps 😆

Mauser M03 Blog KZfaq rates videos by seconds watched (or rather seconds watched adds points to the algorithm) so the more extra seconds you watch, the higher their video rates…and both you and I and everyone else watched an extra 15 seconds…that's why.

Thanks for this explanation Wilfred. Much appreciated. :-)

I don't understand this question.

@@neleabels Do you really think he understands his own question🙄

In light wind ? Just fly your jib wing on wing. Takes attention so a bit tiring if passage is long - but is it long ?

so. You're one of these guys who already knows everything about sailing? congratulations, thats a very small group. in fact You're the only one. MORON.

Admiral Genius No, he (and I) don't know everything, which is why we're here, and wasted 5 minutes of our day (which you might gather I don't much appreciate), AND we didn't learn anything (nothing to do with the presenter being a woman, and rather has to do with a lazy video). It's a video trolling for clicks: good title, but nothing presented you wouldn't learn on your first day out. I've already watched much better today and I'll find better yet I suspect before today is over. You want to call him on his sexism fine, but don't call him a moron for saying he didn't learn anything from a poorly made video.

Admiral Genius And to further clarify, if this was "Jim Bob's sailing blog" I wouldn't care (I wouldn't be here bordering on being an ass), in fact if Jim Bob had said I don't bother flying a spinnaker and instead here's what I do…fine, maybe even a thumbs up. But SHE does fly a spinnaker, and she's just instructed us to do 95% of the setup for flying a spinnaker, and called it "hassle free": it's disingenuous. When I come to Yachting World to see a video they have from a professional sailor, there are certain expectations, and this feels more like false pretext.

That's why she is a racer and not an instructor 😁

@@seeuathebeach and anyone who has raced just a few racers understands her.

If thinking about downwind sailing look also at this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bd53lKaU39yveHU.html

Who wants to buy a square? Duh!

Not every boat has a spinnaker & sails can tear.

Spinnaker tears, your boat doesn’t have one, also it can be fun to try different methods of doing the same thing. Admittedly this is terrible for a race setup, but for yachting it’s fun to just play around with your boat, and see what you can do. Not to mention the spinnaker is a very fiddly sail, quite annoying for long-haul downwind sailing.

@@stoutyyyy agreed. We keep ours below deck. This probably benefits a shorthanded sailor the most. Keeps you on deck, and doesn't require you to haul up a large spinnaker.
