If you mean, self-tacking jibs, then yes, maybe one day... We cover the jib traveler in our sail trim video, check it out czcams.com/video/x6XOKA_DkOw/video.html

thanks for watching and your amazing feedback, much appreciated. A wind vane is actually a system for showing from which direction the wind is blowing from, or any apparatus affected by the wind. I guess the correct term would be a wind vane self-steering system. Hydro refers to water so not sure how that fits in. Then some refer to the systems according to brand names, such as "Wind Pilot". While there are variations in design, they all perform the same function, keeping the vessel on a course in relation to the apparent wind. Hope this helps, thanks again

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 Thank you. Yes I think Hydrovane is a manufacturer but it is still a windvane steering system. I am clear now.

😂😂awesome, thanks for watching

The line is not around the ear of the cleat, it's passing through the mid eye

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 it isn't. I watched for that specifically. Watch again. In any case, at least it's unclear, Which is the death nell for instructive animations

​@@searchingforcoconuts2248 watch especially at 2:56. The line is looping first around the NEAR ear. Very wrong

Apologies, your original comment made reference to 2:30... Moving on to 2:56, if I was doing an instructional on how to tie up, then yes, I would need to have it around the far ear, and will need to amend the clip. Your comments could lead to viewers researching the finer points of OXO and that's a good thing. This particular line you are referring to is not meant to keep the boat from forward movement, that's what the spring line will do. This is to prevent the stern from moving off. In my opinion, if you take a look at the view from above, the angle is not so wide that you could say the line will not hold. Anyway, any discussion is good discussion and could potentially help someone else.

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 good answer. 👍

such amazing comments, thanks so much

amazing suggestions, thanks so much. Good to hear from you again

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 yeah that's another thing. I was subbed and didn't unsub but for some reason Google decided to mess with your followers and dropped me off. You might mention at the end of your vids for people to check they are still subbed. PS there's an error in my Eg..... The midline for blown off berths obviously only works when surging into a finger berth, it works in either reverse or forward in blown off side-to docking.

Greetings and thanks for contributing... Maybe I was not clear as to what "instruction" I was referring to. The reference was applicable only to the tying up method i.e. using the dock cleat and nothing else. For everything else, I agree with your comments, it's up to the skipper. Marinas could have regulations regarding how much line is left on docks and how it is stored.

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 Just a form of words. You triggered me because Sooooo many people I sail with believe they don't have the options afforded by reversing in available to them because the marina said port side in forward.... For your readers, they just mean "port side WHEN GOING in forward" so that you can picture in your brain which side to fender up. Lastly, can you add this from me. Crew... Don't constrain your skipper to the wrong strategy. Pre-fender BOTH sides with pontoon height fenders tied to the lower safety wire. Then pull all fenders up and hang them over the top safety wire to make them boat/toe rail height. When you KNOW which is the docking side (because your skipper has eyeballed it and the docking conditions), flip the dock side's fenders back to pontoon height. You might also like to "line up" both bow cleats and both stern cleats for the same reason. The midship line is usually the first and most important line needed when being blown off, but may not be needed when blowing on, so prep that last.

take videos 😂😂

greetings and thanks for watching and adding comments. The sheet traveller is fixed in place, but the block on the sheet traveller can slide fore or aft. Check 4:00 it shows the block is on a track. Not all sailboats will be fitted with this track. In racing, this will get adjusted often. If your boat has no track, the sheets run through a block to the winch, which is fixed. Hope I understood your comment and added some clarity, much appreciated

Sweet. Thanks, I'll check it out

Thanks for those interesting points, much appreciated

Hi, and thanks for your comments. While you are correct, let me give you an example. If you are sailing full sails and need to reef down... If you have tension on the leech of the sail, it's not going to slide down the mast track with all that tension. Same with hoisting, so it makes things a lot easier to lift the boom during sail changes. The outhaul is often forgotten, but gets important for sail trim... Hope this helps, thanks for watching

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 I see, thank you

much appreciated, thank you

looking forward to your updates, glad to hear things are on the move

Best comment ever!

much appreciated, thank you... we also miss our adventures, need to take care of family issues right now

yeah, who would have thought... Thanks so much for the great feedback

By raising the boom, you take tension from the leech of the sail. By reducing this tension, the sliders on the mast track can move freely. Without releasing the tension, the sail can be difficult to drop. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching

amazing comments, thanks so much

hello again, and thanks so much

😂😂 thankfully yes, fixed that issue... thanks for watching
