I just want to add my thanks to the list of people here who appreciate your efforts. Well done lecture. I learned some things I didn't know, and others I'd forgotten. My sincere gratitude. Thanks.
I may be a sick puppy but I LOVE THIS STUFF... Will pass it on to others. My hats off to the selfless dedication to get all this information out there out... You made my world turn!!!! THANK YOU!!!
A brilliant Engineering Approach, that covers every aspect and nuance . Developing the skill and eye to do the work.. takes time. Every journey begins with a single step.
Thank you so much for your time and effort to put this video together, it was extremely informative and has given me the confidence to tackle my rigging!
Thank you. I think I will leave the overall tuning to the pros for now. I appreciate all the detail in determining if it is tuned properly and how to take all the measurements so at least I can monitor and knowledgeably talk to those I hire. And the more one knows, the safer one can keep the boat at all times instead of during the yearly haulout. You've also given me the confidence to work towards being able to do this myself and scratch one more cost of being a boat owner.
Thank you for this amazingly clear easy to follow and very informative presentation with simple to understand diagrams. Thank you for taking the time to make this video that gave me the full scope to tuning a rig in a single viewing. Subscribed and liked. I'll now watch through all your other content
Thank you Captain Tursi, more should watch and study this video. Thanks to you for the MSS and the wealth of knowledge you share. I like some of your opinions as well...
Excellent seminar. At a pace that allowed me to take notes and understand each concept. While I wouldn't attempt to re-rig a boat now, I do feel I could effectively inspect one and also determine if it needed adjustments by a rigger. Thanks Tom. Time well spent.
Sir, I thank you for this well made video. I have learned much from it and I appreciate your taking the time to make it. Thank you so very much. S/V Solel
This is an excellent, well presented tutorial. thank you. I have a wooden masted cheoy lee folk boat with a recently stepped mast in need of tuning. this helps.
Well that's useful stuff I always wondered why there was hydraulic backstay tentioner on that swan 42 I got on . I'm not a sailor. But an engineer that appreciates this stuff. Thanks
Kinda like lacing and truing a bicycle wheel. When racing bikes I built my own wheels and never broke a spoke - hopefully the same will be the case sailing and I will never lose a rig.
For a double spreader mast, any suggestions on a base tension for the intermediate shrouds prior to stepping the mast? Should they be snug, lose, or tight prior to the mast being placed on the boat?
Are you sure about the lee and weather helm vectors based on the graphics shown. Seems like the resulting torque works opposite. I'm still looking at the drawings.
Can a poorly-tuned rig distort the boat such that the head bulkhead pulls away from the cabin top and causes drawers and doors in the vicinity not to close true? If so, will the boat return to shape if the rig is properly tuned? Will the bulkhead need to be retabbed?
If you study mechanical engineering at Universityyou will know the best shape for all MASTS IS A straight line.The last thing to have is a BENT MAST BECAUSE IT FAILS MUCH MORE EASILY UNDER LOAD.SO JUST MAKE YOUR MAST DEAD STRAIGHT AND GET SAILS CUT ACCORDINGLY.SECOND DO NOT OVERTENSION RIGGING,Better to have a low rig tension , since we are cruising........
go back to Uni bro and learn some shit. did you study mechanical engineering? Do you have a sail boat? do you know how to turn caps off?............. listn and learn mr know it all.
sorry but I had to stop it around 48 minutes in.... you mean to tell me that a bucket of water from THE STARBOARD SIDE is the SAME WEIGHT as the water from the PORT SIDE? Seriously? They NEVER told me that in sailing class! Hmmmm... not sure who to believe here.... ;) . Otherwise... nice video... so far... LOL

True gift of explaining engineering principles down to a level all can understand. I learned a lot here. Thank you so much!
Excellent presentation. Not too detailed; just the right amount of information on rig tuning. Good use of diagrams and picture too. Thank you.

THANK YOU!!!
Woof1 Woof! I sailed to Bermuda with Capt. Tursi on his IP40 with Md. school of Sailing. Well worth the bucks.
Wow, a lot of effort. Thanks so much. I'm a lot more knowledgable about rigging thanks to your time and effort.

Thank you for making this video (and the others) as they are really helpful to me when I buy my boat.
Magnificent, thorough lesson. Thank you for your invaluable contribution to my understanding!

Thanks for your excellent lecture and the effort to teach every one out there...Thankyou
Good info, I have tuned my rigging many times and learned some things that I can do better. Thank you
Well done. Can't wait to start tuning!
Sir, I thank you for this well made video. I have learned much from it and I appreciate your taking the time to make it. Thank you so very much.

Thank you so much, a very informative seminar.
Excellent description. Thanks.
Excellent video ! Thanks
Thanks. Very useful. Well explained.
Excellent I am well informed to take a good look at my rig . thank you .
Thank you very much. I learnt a lot.
Excellent video, thank you. All my knowledge got magically organized. A seminar for fractional racing rig? Pls.
Great video.
Well that's useful stuff I always wondered why there was hydraulic backstay tentioner on that swan 42 I got on . I'm not a sailor. But an engineer that appreciates this stuff. Thanks
Thank you for a very informative lesson. Greetings from Denmark. Målar 30 nr, 83
I finally understand Lee and weather helm! D: thank you!
Outstanding! tyvm
Very informative thanks.
Thank you

Txs captain!!

I can't find the rigging tensions specs for my Vanguard 33 online or anywhere.
I wonder just how accurate visual sighting is? Is there laser technology today?
I agree that a rig which punches a hole in the bottom can make quite a mess.
Of course some might have halyards that aren't actually central to the mast. I know that mine are all exit either side.
Use the shackle end of the halyard stretched down to the boom for estimating the mast bend
Can a poorly-tuned rig distort the boat such that the head bulkhead pulls away from the cabin top and causes drawers and doors in the vicinity not to close true? If so, will the boat return to shape if the rig is properly tuned? Will the bulkhead need to be retabbed?
Bulkhead delaminates from hull prob?
could be what makes for an enjoyable sail or not.
Designed to be light.
hi, i am chinese, and i like that the mast is a half cooked noodle....:D

Mast bending is not a new thing. You should read more about sailboat rigging and sail rigging and control.
God your stupid lol
sorry but I had to stop it around 48 minutes in.... you mean to tell me that a bucket of water from THE STARBOARD SIDE is the SAME WEIGHT as the water from the PORT SIDE?
Seriously?
They NEVER told me that in sailing class!
Hmmmm... not sure who to believe here.... ;)
.
Otherwise... nice video... so far... LOL
yes.
