thanks but I'm too cooked today
⛵️
Watched one video and immediately bought your book! 😅 Thanks for the information!
Thank You!!!!
I'm an Instructor, and these videos are perfect for learning English sailing vocabulary...
Thanks! ⛵️
Very helpful! Thanks a lot. I always capsize when jibing😢
It still happens to the best of us…
Excellent instruction !
Thanks! ⛵️
I have watched many explanations of how to heave to, and this is by far the easiest to understand and follow, thank you.
Thank you! ⛵️
Congratulations on your excellent video. Do the words CLOSE HAULED, LUFF UP and WEATHER HELM have the same meaning when we are sailing on a boat?
Sorry, I can not answer that question because englisch is not my first language.
Thanks, this video worked for me. The model and showing all the component details helped me to understand it. I saw the term "heave to" on a television show and wanted to know what it meant. I read several definitions and did not understand what they were saying. I watched another video and I was still confused. This video made it completely clear to me and I even understood why it can be tricky to implement.
Thanks! Glad I could help you to understand! ⛵️
Good-hearted captain 👍 love the simplicity of demonstration of all the techniques 🙏
Thanks for watching!
I have trouble with this maneuver in my Catalina 27 fin keel. 🤷
Sorry to hear That! It does not work with every boat! Construction of hulls Andy keels are different!
Your bowline is actually a cowboy bowline, or left-handed bowline, and is a variation of the official bowline, per ABOK and others. The tail should end up inside of the loop. If you take the working end around the standing end from the right, it will result in the tail resting inside the loop, and you will not end up with the cowboy bowline you've tied here. I say this only because as a newbie learning these, it was frustrating to encounter all the misnamed knots and not be able to know when, if at all, the variation mattered in terms of the functional aspects of the knot. Even tiny variations result in a different knot, i.e. the midshipman v. tautline hitch.
Thank you for your feedback!
I kept trying it your way and came up w/ at least 2 versions, including one that was correct. Embarrassingly, I guess it's all in how you dress it. @@captainsailnator
I’m a sailing instructor and at first I thought the hands on “puppetry” would be a little ridiculous but as I watched more, I started to see how perfectly it’s used. You describe use of sails, tiller, even a wind vane! Incredible work here
Thanks for the kind words! Feel free to share the videos with your customers! Thank you very much!
I've just stumbled across these! Wow I'll have so much fun watching them all.
Thanks for watching!
You are severely underrated. You earned a sub🙃
Thank you so much! 👍

With a Genoa you Tack the same as with a jib: How to Tack with a sailboat: ua-cam.com/video/Aw_CqEDSXlw/v-deo.html If you mean Genacker (Big downwind sail) you have to jibe and it works different from boat to boat. Find Someone who can Show you!
Good knowledge!
Thanks!
Thank you for helping me learn how to cleat! It's gonna be so useful on GTA World
👍
Great, I bought the book, looks great as well. Congratulations
Thank you so much Hussein!
very clear and simple explanation! Would love to purchase your book Capt.!
Thank you Storm Mars!
Thanks
Thanks for watching Mario!
Thanks for explaining this but At 1:25, would it not be better just to pull down the main sheet?
If you want to heave to for a longer period of time or of you want to weather a storm it might be better.
Give me til payday and I WILL buy this awesome book! The color version even. While I could never afford to sail in real life, this book could give me knowledge to sail in my dreams at night.
When I started sailing I could not afford it too. So I cleaned boats and helping out at the Dock of a sailing School/Club and instead getting payed they teached me how to sail. After a while I could teach myself and for that I was alllowed to sail by myself in the evening. Then I started as a deckhand on a Yacht. And so on. Just as an inspiration . (I do not earn More Money with the colored Version of the book. Even less. The Print is just very expensive.)
You can buy an RC sailboat.
Loved it. Straightforward and practical! (the boat is awesome too ;-)
Thank you Ed Itor!
Like all videos in your series, this one is also excellent. So easy to visualise and understand. Uncluttered and to the point. Thank you for taking the time to make these video's. They are invaluable for either those that believe they know, but need to "brush up on technique", or those that are just learning.
Thanks for watching and the kind words John!
thank you very much! I want to try to get into a sailing boat of strangers to go from canary islands to peninsular spain and this video gives me confidence that, if I learn it well, I can be of good help!
Thank you Rita and I wish you a nice and calm Trip!
A very important feature about this knot is that it can be tied and untied under tension giving it a great advantage over some other knots
Good Point!
Thank you captain sailnator
Thanks for watching joyouthful Sy!
Thank you Captain! Although you say this is a supplement video only for sailing, I think if these supplements don't exist we wouldn't be able to understand sailing books. Your videos are very valuable!
Thank you Ruki!
Excellent and very clear explanation. Really thanks. I whish you a good wind ⛵
Thank you Agostino!
The rolling hitch, Ashley's version 2 (ABOK # 1735).
👍
What a wonderful explanation!
Thanks trackie!
Well done!
Thanks Jona!
Thank you. Your explanation helps me understand adjusting the sails for the different sail positions.
Thanks for watching Ron!
Good explanation. Thanks!
Thanks Ron!
Thank you Captain Sailnator ! First good explanation I have found on YT.
Thanks for watching Ronald!
Are you leaving the main sheet completely slack? If so, then won’t the boom constantly flap around in any kind of seas or gusts? I think Skip Novak sheets the main so that it works with the rudder to balance out the bow going to leeward.
This is a video for beginners on a dinghi and there it works fine. In my experience the main stays actually quite stabile. On a Yacht I would take the Main sail down if I wanted to heave to for a longer period of time. I can not tell you how Skip Nowak is balancing the rudder out with the windpressure in the main. He is a real Pro and far far far more experienced than me. And as he says: Some boats heave to and some don‘t. You have to try out what works best for you 😉
Hi captain. Can you please help me with adjusting the Cunningham, outhaul and kicker for speed in a sailing dinghy? I couldn't find it in the book
Sorry Guy, unfortunately I am not an expert for trimming sails.
What if one end of the line is not free?
One end has to be free. The other end can be attached to something, for example to a fender (witch is represented here by the figure eight knot)
@@captainsailnator thank you very much. may the winds be in your favor. Just a note, witch is incorrect - write which
How about not putting the bow through the wind but winching the jib when on closehauld to the opposite side, releasing the main and turning the ruder to windward?
That is another way to heave to and I recommend to try to do so on a yacht, especially in heavy weather. Problem: winshing a big jib on closehauled to the orher side without turning the bow through the wind can be very challenging. You can try to turn the bow towards the wind till the jib flatters and then winch it to the other side. If that does not work do it like shown here. Search for: „Skip Novak - Heaving to“ on UA-cam. He shows how it works the way you suggested it.
@@captainsailnator Thanks, I should mentioned heavy weather conditions
I have watched about twenty heave to vids......these people can sail ,but they cannot show a decent heave to video for nuts,,,,,teachers they are not,,,,,even skip novak for gods sake.
I've watched a few videos on this topic, this was far the best! Thank you!!
Thank you Zoltan!
love your book...i take your book with me in a water tight bag when we sail...Today I am going to show my sailing partners how to Heave 2 using your book as my Authority...(in case I experience Disagreement) (:
I really love to hear that you like my Book! Hope you could convince your sailing Partners how to heave to ;-)
Very informative and wonderfully presented in an easy to understand way. Thank you! Loved the video :) <3
Trank you Emma!
Awesome video! I am a visual learner and this helped me understand running so quickly. I appreciate it and have subscribed. Thank you
Thanks for watching Maurice!
What about the centreboard? Should'nt it be retracted to some degree when running downwind?
Hi Michel, that's a good point! Thank you! The centreboard can be retracted on downwind an even on broad reach, because there is no drift. It creates unnecessary resistance on these points of sail.
@@captainsailnator Yes Captain! And I also think that a retracted centreboard can make an accidental jibe less a dramatical thing! :-)
Your videos are really helpful. Thank you. How would a boat sail away from dock with an East or West wind?
Just turn the Bow into the Wind and do it like i showed it in the Video. sometimes You have to Paddel to a different Place Where you can do That. Eastwind: Fix the bow at the tip of the jetty so That the bow turns East. Westwind: Paddel to a Post or a buoy With enough Space backwards. If Not possible ask the Locals how they do it ;-)
nice video for learn more about MOB
I was waiting for Mr Bill
Maybe he appears in the next video ;-)
I’ve been reading instructions that says with a sloop rig it is best to heave to using only the mainsail and dropping the jib. This way the boat is at a shallower angle to the wing rather than right angles . What is your take on this.
Hi Mike, you can use only the jib and drop the mainsail very well. (I guess that is what you ment and not the other way round, because I think the jib is essential for heaving to) Especially, when you heave to for a longer time, for example in a storm. I don't know if the angle is shallower then, but I think it is better for the sail, and the boom is not swinging around. I would prefer to do so, especially on a yacht. Hope that helps.
@@captainsailnator no other way round according to the video I watched. Drop jib and use mainsail. Apparently using both brings the boat to far around on the beam towards the wind and sea. I'm going to test it out this weekend.
I can not imagine how this should work. How do you keep the Main on the windward side? But I am always happy to learn something new, so please keep me updated about what happend when you testet it. Do you have a link to the video you watched or any other source? Thanks! If it doesn't work listen to the words of my hero Skip Nowak: Some boats heave to very well and some boats don't heave to at all: ua-cam.com/video/uQTOfns6OjU/v-deo.html
@@captainsailnator Hi. The main is kept on the leeward side, sheeted in as normal (and reefed if in a storm, or replaced with a storm trysail). The jib is dropped. If the wind on the bow causes the bow to fall off, the main will begin to power up, then the aft centre of effort of the main together with the rudder will turn the boat back to windward, where it will again loose drive. In this way, the boat is constantly kept on the edge of being in irons. I believe the video Mike is referring to is the Storm Survival Tactics video by the Maryland school. They argue that a backed headsail is only necessary on gaff-rigged sailboats, because, on those boats, the centre of effort of the main is so far aft.
@@captainsailnator your video on how to heave-to is excellent. Thank you for sharing. Ps. I also follow Skip Novak! 🙂
This is the best
