My capsize recovery on captured by news chopper. I was practicing single-handed trapezing on the Cal Sailing Club JY15. This is a necessary skill we practice and use on the very windy San Francisco Bay.
How to Properly Reef Main Sail
Переглядів 10 тис.4 роки тому
This video is meant to provide some guidance for sailors at Cal Sailing Club on how to properly reef the mainsail. Reefing correctly will help minimize wear on the sail, as well as give the sailors a better experience on the water during those summer months on the San Francisco Bay. Demonstration is done on the JY-15 dinghy, but is also applicable to the RS Quest as well as the club Keelboats.
Departure and Docking Under Sail
Переглядів 86 тис.4 роки тому
This video will demonstrate examples of upwind, cross-wind, and downwind departures and dockings under sail. The techniques demonstrated here are just one of many ways taught at Cal Sailing Club. By no means is this the only way or the right way. In each situation, crew communication and good sail trim are essential for success. It's also highly advised to have a backup and backup of a backup p...

Heard the motor running
Thanks for commenting! Yes the boat on the neighboring slip was idling their motor. While the motor on the demonstration boat was in the down position, we kept the engine off due to filming to reduce the sound. As you can see in the video with the 2 camera shots, the helmsperson did not interact with the motor during the demonstration. By the way, for those planning to practicing docking the keelboat under sail, we do strongly recommend having the motor idling so that it's quickly available to be used in case something goes wrong.
beautiful control
Thank you. I have a Compac 16 and your system looks great.
Now. do it single-handedly, just skipper. :)
Now do that in 30 knots 😊
Awesome video! Is there a good technique to departure against the wind ? Is the only way to give the boat a good push and then use the jib to sail away?
This is possibly the best video out there about this topic. Excellent!! It would be amazing to see more videos in this style. Thank you!
Very Nice video Thank you, i learned something new, usually , docking downvind I would turn the Boat 180° and let the Wind and sails slow the Boat . Allways Nice to learn something new like in this exelent tutorial !
Fabulous
Great contribution to those of us learning to sail. Thank you.
Very nicely done, and very well presented.
Guy on the pier grabs the painter and the boat swings to windward and calms down?
great video and production values. my only real question on the 3rd part is... if your going to go through the trouble of turning the boat around in the slip, why not just back out and go? LOL
Thanks for the reply. the reason we turned the boat around is that we can sail out under jib alone going forward out of the slip. I don't know how we can back out under sail.
ohhh i love a merit:D
very well done!
Normally, a dinghy does not have floatation at the top of the mast, i.e. the mast sinks if you climb onto the hull.
Wow...Amazing photographic angles! How did you do that??
Great video….very helpful. It’s that rudder braking….I need to learn how!
Overall great teaching video, I just can't for the life of me, think why you would not face into the wind when arriving to the dock as is usual! A tip I found useful to practice skills as a novice without the risk of damaging other boats was to visualize a quiet marker buoy as the end of a pontoon and maneuver up to it.
Great job on this video. The split screen was perfect.
The first J24 I saw was late 70 ‘s it was yellow and had a picture of Woodstock on the hull. The guy left the dock did a figure 8 and returned to the dock. All under sail from the spar alone. Very impressive. It was love at first sight. MYC Muskegon Mi. Big lake sailor!
The best demonstration of sailboat maneuvers that I have seen. Thank you so much for the hard work of creating this video.
Sure looked like the engine was on and in gear. How is this departure under sail??? But, nice vid, vert informative
Than you for the comment. Outboard was left down, but was not running. The sound you hear in the upwind departure / docking was from the neighboring boat. Btw, from the drone and cockpit camera you can also see that that no one ever touched the outboard to change throttle or change gear during all the demonstration.
Patience is the key.
素晴らしい動画です。 とても参考になりました。
awesomeness 😎
Best example video Ive seen.
Muito bom! Parabéns pelo vídeo.
Great demonstration Saul Thanks 👍.
Amazing work everyone. Thank you for posting this!
this is real sailing.
Looks easy 🙄

Thank you very much for such a good instruction video! Very clear with two points of view.
Thanks, glad you find this helpful
Good demonstration. Thanks
I'm very impressed. Great sailing, great instructors. 👍
Excellent in every way
absolutely superb sailing, filming and commenting. Bravo and thank you guys!
Thanks so much for this informative video! Never totally understood reefing. Now I do!
the first launch i can hear the motor....
Yes, the boat next to use was idling their outboard
Splendid! 👍👍👍
Skipper, don’t stop the boat by holding the top of the stanchions. But otherwise good instruction. Good to practice with the engine ticking over in neutral as the “get out of jail free card” if it all goes wrong.
I used to always leave the slip, and return, including sailing through draw bridges without motor, if possible. I like to know that if I need to use motor I could, but if something happened to motor, I could manage without it. Other things I used to do was practice anchoring a lot. Having a good anchor, and knowing how to use it, can be difference between good night sleep, and waking up ever time you hear a bump. And use to go out by myself, intentionally get hit by strong wind, say approaching thunderstorm with full sails up, and learn how to reef and reduce sail in emergency condition, all by myself. Knowing your boat, and yourself is key. Another thing I would suggest if you are new to sailing, is to race. You really learn a lot about sail trim, currents, wind shifts. while racing, that a quiet boat, is a fast boat, and taking actions quickly isn't necessarily the fastest. The other think you learn, particularly off shore racing or cruising is that early preparation can keep you out of trouble
If you haven't had a moment like that, you haven't done much sailing.
Amazing.
Great job righting the boat! And the zoom on that camera is WOW
Thanks! Definitely had a lot of practice righting the boat sailing on the Bay.
Love the video technique. But have some issues with the content. Upwind yes, crosswind fine. But why would you ever choose to dock downwind on a dock where you can do a perfectly controlled upwind docjlking? It is completely artificial and pointless.
Hi Peter, thank yo for the comment. You are absolutely right that the particular downwind docking demonstrated in the video could have been done upwind. The wind gods was fortunate to give us opportunity to do a cross-wind and up-wind docking on the day we filmed, but unfortunately it didn’t clock in the direction that would have allowed us to do a good downwind docking. However, we hope that the concept demonstrated here will provide some help to the audience in the case that a downwind docking is needed. Here’s a link to a demonstration of an excellent downwind docking into a downwind slip. They tacked upwind, dropped the sails, and then slowly docked into the slip. ua-cam.com/video/AyEKMBLlDTo/v-deo.html. Hopefully after this COVID thing passes, we can sail again here in Berkeley and I hope to make more videos then
@@jackchen5290 I guess you're right, sometimes we do strange things in the name of teaching. I hadn't seen the zig zaf trick with the helm before. Does that work in heavier winds too? I'll try it first chance I get.
@@PetervanGinneken hi Peter, I think you are asking whether the rudder braking we used during downwind docking works for higher winds. I think using the rudder to brake only works on a boat with tiller, it’ll also depend on how far to one side the rudder can move. I’ve only tried it in lighter winds and where I have a bailout plan.
@@jackchen5290 that's OK, the boats I teach and usually sail on myself all have tillers that can come over 90 degrees if need be. But I will test it with plenty of room to spare and find out. It's definitely an interesting trick.
@@jackchen5290 the zig zag works with wheel boats and larger boats, just making a lot of turbulence slows you way down
This is awesome! I would not hesitate to call it THE BEST instructional video out there. Well done!
Love this! Thank you
Outstanding!!! Can you do all this with a 15T crousing boat?
