How does a modern gaff rig go for a solo sailor?

Thank you

not for singlehanders

Just the look and feel of our rig makes me feel very good. Deep red sails, lush varnished spars, and rope everywhere. In a nice wind with the sun out, especially if its behind the sail, I'll spend way too much time just looking up at the rig. It all adds up to a feeling of solidity, warmth and deep tradition. Sitting on a modern white tub in comparision feels hard, harsh and not at all pleasant.

The Kracken's Keel seems to allow it relatively fast speeds.

Stop the damn music!

Very clear, thank you!

Why all the loud background annoying noise? Did you not want us to hear what you are saying?

Lol

awefully lot of "hint hint" winking. can't tell if your letting me on on a secret or lying. your not flirting with me are you? 🤔

I can think of one boat that has a triple keel...Seadog 30. It's a full keel boat with twin outboard water tanks, formed into modified full keels. Each of them holds around 100litres of drinking water and can support the boat when it's on the hard. Unfortunately, it has even more wetted surface than a full keel or a bilge keel, so yes it's slower...but not many 30-foot boats have 235litres of fuel and over 200litres of water capacity. It's absolutely a cruiser, you definitely won't be breaking any racing records here, but for useable long-distance cruising range...that's hard to beat for it's size.

I must know vietnamese, because i understand what you say. It reminds me to english, but youtube keeps insisting you speak vietnamese

I grew up sailing. Thank you for breaking down all the sail configurations. I learned some things from your video. You also helped me remember things I had forgotten. Great video.

Shit house music does a disservice to your message. For the love of everything holy, just stop with it already.

Very informative, thank you kind sir!

Have a swing keel boat. In describing it to someone once used the term. The guy told me about the canting keel and saying I used the terrm wrong, so I watched your video to see. Made it almost half way through before that music drove me away. Awful. Why?? At least tone it down. Good god. Absolutely distracting. Is it supposed to be hypnotic?

One advantage you forgot to mention is that everyone aboard a sailboat gets to do something. Steering, sail trimming, keeping a lookout, or just moving around as human ballast. Sailing is a good sport for older persons because they get to participate even if it is just in a small way. So many powerboat videos show the Captain having fun steering and the passengers about as active as so many sacks of potatoes.

I only had to stop and watch three cat videos while watching this.

why does your background have the same color as jeffrey epstein island's temple

WHERE is this guy? This is *great* material! I just discovered it.

I thought I was coming up with new designs... Turns out to be a canting keel 😑 and a bildge keel 😑... Thx for the terminology... Peace and Health

Goe gezegd

Great video. I have a 26' British Westerly Centaur bilge keel. It doesn't get any better. 3' draft and I can glide up to a sand bar and park.

The bilge keel image shows the boat has two rudders. Does a bilge keel vessel have to have two rudders?

Sailboats are the absolute best to have on the ocean or on a lake!!!❤❤

When people say “modified full keels are faster than full keels” do they mean they accelerate faster?

3 minutes my ass

how does it compare to the junk rig?

Thank you

Way to much talking not enough info bro. Nice Beard

I have a swing keel, this was helpful. Thanks

why show your ugly mug thru the entirety of the video when there are such beautiful pictures of sailing ships???

Great review of sails. Except one error at 7:28 minutes: The dinghies are sailing with SYMMETRICAL SPINNAKERS and spinnaker poles (not GENNAKERS)! You can see the spinnaker pole attached to the tack, in the boat furthest to the left of the photo, and the symmetrical shape of the sails. With gennakers the tack is usually attached to the bowspit or a retractable bowspit, not a moveable spinnaker pole, with two sheets attached to the clew. The shape of the gennaker is closer to the shape of a genoa, than a downwind spinnaker. Symmetrical spinnakers are also seen in Cadet, 420, 470 dinghies, and Dragons.

great content, lower the back ground music!

In your face presentations are uncomfortable for viewers. I'm gone.

Cat videos, production values skyrockets!!!🤣🤣🤣 needed a good laugh! Awesome video, second time watching your video.

What do you mean when talking about stability, is it directional stability or upright stability? To me it seems directional, which of course is important, but isn't upright stability more (most) important🤔

That was a good video. I used some parts of it for my English classes :)

Extremely well explained, thanks for these great video series!

This video was 11 mins too long

Great job! Just bought a Catalina 250 and needed help with understanding sails…

Years ago I swore I'd never do another burpee.

Im considering a lifting keel revolution 22 afep marine.

"Catamaran: Most people know this sailboat because of the popular..." I feel like I'm the only person that shouted "Waterworld!!!" 😂 Turns out its actually a Trimaran. See I learned something already!

Parole, please not.

new sailing rig on my channel ....ROTATING SPAR SKIFF ( a new kind of sailing rig )

License is bullshit. EDUCATION is excellent! There is no replacement for experience. ;-)

My boat is very unusual and not mentioned here, it's got two bilge keels with no weight, but a central lifting keel made of solid steel. It looks like a triple bilge keel with the lifting keel up.

Can you do a review at the end of each video to help remember it with out having to scan each video

Stupid annoying music for no reason... Why destroy your work, learn not to put music over your voice, fucking dumbest move ever.
