    I find explanations on the boat usually don't let new guests or crew enjoy as much because they can't see the big picture, and they are struggling to learn all the information, so they don't get into the actually sailing. These videos eliminate all the mystery and confusion of the fundamentals and help all to take part in the actual joy of sailing. Thanks for such detailed videos. You are an excellent teacher as you took the complex and made it all simple, and entertaining.

    By far the best explanatory videos about sailing riging I have ever seen in the past few years on youtube or elswhere. You guis are doing a tremendious work. Your chosen 3D model strategy and all details are very clear and understandable. Can just imagine how much work it takes ti prepare this material. Respect and very gratefull for this material!

    At first I didn't think I would like the 3D animations for explaining. They ended up being ideal, seeing the lines run around the boat is perfect. Super helpful for a newby sailor trying to get his boat prepared to single hand.

    Im very adventurous and bought a sailing boat. I never sailed a day in my life. Its more comfy than a tent.
    But I am doing this adventure alone and need to learn everything I can, and this video series is sooooo perfect. I am totally new. Until now I just used it as a place to live in, but yesterday was the day I (we) put the mast back up. First time since I got it. And now Im rigging everything and get ready for my first sail.
    It helps immensly to see where all the sheets go, where to connect them, how to arrange everything.
    Thank you sooooooo much! I recommend this to every newb sailor I meet, and hope you get more views. Atleast as many as deserved and hopefully even more.
    Maybe you can put the used terminology into the video descriptio. That would help a little, I think

I’ve never sailed even once in my life, and now never will due to disability, but I learnt a lot about sailing as a child from the wonderful Arthur Ransome. These videos really brought everything into focus though, and it’s something I wish I could have seen working before!

    So enjoying these! It’s 25 yrs since I’ve sailed. I began at 12 yrs old in 1969 on Lake Muskoka in Ontario Canada, in an 11’ Moth scow. Then it was a 28’ Jeanneau on Lake Erie, then the Abbott 24’, then a 38’ C&C on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. I also did a couple of delivery trips from the Great Lakes to the Caribbean for Kanter Yachts when they were in their original yard.
    Now I’m retired, and moving to Canada’s west coast where I’ll be shopping for a new used boat, hopefully a 40’ Island Packet. I’ll be living aboard.
    It’s a bit like riding a bike, but I really need “refreshing”, so thanks a lot!
    (the “heave to” lesson was fabulous!)

    Great animation, just one point before you raise the boom after you ease the boom vang, I was taught to ease the mainsail so it de powers the mainsail and allows the boom to be raised more easily., I did not see that process, and if you agree you may want to add that sequence into your next update. I think you have done a fantastic piece of educational skills training with this and congratulate you.

    The right time to reef is when you first think about it. see a squall on the horizon? put a reef in. sleeping under sail with a newbie on watch? put a reef or two in, just in case. etc etc.

    I noticed on Emerald Steel, they mention always going to the second reef at night, whether they need it or not. I also notice Delos doesn't like anyone leaving the cockpit alone at night. It's good to see the mechanics of what's being done. A very nice set of videos.

    • @searchingforcoconuts2248
      @searchingforcoconuts2248  Před 3 lety +1

      regarding the Delos example, this is something all sailing schools should teach and all crews should adhere to... as far as going to second reef at night, the Pardeys always followed some great procedures to take care of boat and crew and always sailed with a kind of "what if" mentality. Their books contain some wonderful tips on safe sailing and how to extend the life of equipment and ensure safety of crew, including putting a reef in at night and waking up crew should it be necessary to leave the cockpit. thanks for your great comments

    Great vid, thank you. Perhaps you shoul mention that, for riffing, it is needed to point your bow towards the wind, in order to "unload" the sail. Either that or, better, release the tension on your main sail sheet. Then, it would be something like this: release main sheet, tense the lift, release the vang, releas slowly the halyard of the main sail, insert the ring in the hook of the goosneck, then tense back the mail halyard, tense the riff sheet, release the lift and tense the vang. Finaly, tense the main sheet in order to re-trim the main sail...
