- As you progress through the sport there will come a time when you need to remove the centreboard...but when is that point...and what does the centreboard even do?
In this video I'll explain some instructor secrets of controlling the board with and without the middle fin, how you can ensure you sail up wind effectively, and the affects it'll have on the board whilst gybing!
As always on this channel the whole explanation and demo is live on board with Cookie, this summer filmed in Vassiliki, Greece.
I'm coaching here all summer, feel free to drop me messages about clinics and coaching sessions I can offer out here in these epic conditions!
Anything specific you want me to film? Drop me a comment on the bottom too!
Thanks for watching!
I've been sailing a 75ltr for years now and still I watched this. Just love the way you teach and explain things. Wish you'd had this channel all those years ago. Thanks for explaining what I didn't understand then and why my gybes are still crap. 🤣🤣🤣
That dagger board down during a gybe explains 30 years of frustration... what a relief! Many thanks.
I still consider myself a beginner and that's why I've been using the daggerboard till now. I tried this today after a few years hiatus from sailing. It worked great. I was able to leave the daggerboard up the whole time and felt like I had plenty of control. Thanks for this.
Exactly the info I needed. Well done!
thanks for the tips and for the detailed explanations!
So glad found this!!!!! Great stuff
very usefull video! thank you and don't stop, it's perfect!
Great video, love your teaching style 👌
Perfect video for me! I am right at that stage of understanding toe side pressure and heard people talk of windward rail pressure but it wasn't working for me.. now I know why I'll be sure to try this next time!
Never forget the fundamentals!! Looks like a beautiful day!! I still like geting out in the light air on mt Mistral Equipe!!
I'm trying to figure out when not to use the daggerboard in my small sailboat (folding Seahopper), and you've clearly explained it to me at
Great tips for transitioning away from beginner boards.
Awesome tips.
Thanks for your very well explained Videos 👍👍👍 very helpfull for me as a Beginner 😉👌
This heel/toe pressure going upwind was new to me! 2 weeks of windsurf and yoga holiday starts today so definetly gonna try it out. I've always tried to keep the board flat while trying to go upwind also!
excellent video!
Would have loved to see what dagger board planing looks like. Never had a chance to experience it, didn't find a video on CZcams. I changed relatively quickly to a Surfline Munich Thruster with a lot of lift. Going upwind is easy, you get planing early, and it is steady as a rock.
Nice video once again, very useful!! Exactly what I was missing in your last upwind sailing video, because in it you talked about keeping the board flat, but here the conditions are so light that you better tilt the board a bit to help move upwind, right?
Exactly what I was looking for, and couldn’t find anywhere else, thanks !!! I am 100% confident on my Exocet Windsup and daggerboard, and bought a 155 JP with a large fin, so what about putting the large fin on the big board, would it be easier for learning planing and going upwind ?
Can you please chat about the effect of board shape on the ride? Rails, tail, width, rocker, volume distribution, double concave … etc?
