I realize there are way fewer people interested in the mechanics of how to actually sail a boat, but these examples are awesome and are way more helpful than other videos, where they skim over details without explaining them! Cheers!
I dont understand why barely anyone ever made sailing videos like this with animations that lets us see everything easily. Great job at this very good presentation! I learned a lot!
@@searchingforcoconuts2248 Thank you for your great videos. I dont know what youve planned forvthe future. But I certainly would be very interested in a video focussing on the boom rigging with the halyard, the reef lines etc etc. I need to figure out how mine is supposed to work.
@@obiwanfisher537 hi again, sorry for the late reply... it's a bit difficult to do tutorials like that as each vessel/brand/captain has their own set-up.... My advice would be to join as many sailing groups as possible, maybe even one specific to your type of boat, and bombard them with questions... sure, most of them think they know everything but these groups can provide great knowledge
@@searchingforcoconuts2248 no problem. I did my own research and it turns iut I have a very old furling boom system. I also learned that its not very good for reefing and that I should modify the boom for slab reefing.
Easily the best simply explained rigging/sailing instruction I have seen. I did RYA Day Skipper last year and this was a fantastic review. Good work ! Thanks.
Damn, this is good. I knew the mechanics of the old gold age of sail ships, but this explains clearly and with great visuals the purpose of everything in the modern ship rigging.
I have n9ot yet sailed but I am trying to familiarise myself with where everything is and how it works so that when I do go sailing, I only need to learn how to sail, not where everything goes. I've watched this (and some of your other videos) several times now and today I set up all the sheets and line just to go through the process. It's a great way of beginning to learn what I need to know when I go sailing, so I'll be setting the lines up and taking them down a few times to get used to the motions. These videos are the best, I've learned so much already, I wish I could thumbs up for you 50 times. Thanks for helping a complete newbie get prepared.
Great videos. The only thing I'd add for anyone watching is that when furling away the jib it's a good idea to keep a little tension on the jib sheet (port or starboard depending on tack) to ensure the jib wraps away neatly. The easiest way to do this is a single wrap around a winch (maybe more if very windy) of the jib sheet and holding it lightly in your hand feeding out the jib sheet as you (or mate) pulls on the furling line.
Thanks. A good refresher. Just bought a keeler after years of dinghy and Hobie sailing. Did spend a fair bit of my youth crewing on racing keelers out of Durban, a place I am sure you are familiar with!
These are the best basic technical sailing video's I have ever seen. So useful. I guess they could be at great use for RYA courses. I appreciate the effort and hope you will keep posting them for free.
These are really great videos. I've been watching a lot of videos because I'm interested in getting into sailing. You make everything so clear and easy to understand and have great animations too.
@@searchingforcoconuts2248 I have to second what Matt is saying!! Really awsome videos! I´ve been watching several others and theese are by far the best!! Answered many of my wonderings!!
ive watched so many videos... for begginers ...and i only understood very little from those until i came across your videos... very good at explaining.. terms and names are so easy to understand..giving info one step at a time.. thanks for this... SUBSCRIBING NOW!... Looking forward for more Sir...
I learned to sail in 5 minutes. Regardless of all the terminology, remember newbies...FIND the wind. The wind may change on you. It may change direction at any time and can catch you off-guard. Check the wind reports, identify any land/terrain that will affect your wind patterns as you sail by. Plan your course. Be safe and have fun! Happy to answer any questions from my experience. I sailed 14ft to 25 ft sailboats and hobiecats. Good to learn in case someone is not available to toss you into the wind.
thanks so much, we use the software Blender 3D which can be downloaded free at Blender.org. Go ahead and learn the basics at ua-cam.com/channels/CkVT2KL4slCH3HEbeq3MFA.html
Wow, the first one was amazing, but the audio wasn´t good. Now it´s a 10/10 tutorial, hope you can keep your work with the channel and thank you for the material!
So, in the setup showed around the 4 minute mark where the sliding traveler is located in the floor of the cockpit, is that main sheet line not meant to be used with a winch? I am guessing that the block and tackle gives you enough mechanical advantage to adjust it by hand?
Hi, and thanks for watching. When you have a cockpit traveler, because the mainsheet is attached far to the end of the boom, you have enough leverage with the blocks. On systems where the traveler is set mid-boom, you need will need a winch to get it sheeted in. Hope this helps
I've found these videos to be the clearest explanation of each line there is. My only problem (my problem, not the videos) is that I have a smaller older boat that doesn't have any jammers, and also a main sheet that is attached to each side rather than on a rail, so some stuff is harder to understand, but still... this is the video I keep coming back to for clarification. I also seem to have 2 extra lines that go up through the mast which I have no idea what they do. Haylard thick line that runs inside the mask 8mm. Topping line that is external to the mask and just runs through a pully at the top 6mm. 2 x thinner 6mm lines that run up inside the mask and tie off at the base. No idea what these are for. Any ideas anyone? 1973 Sunray 21
greetings and thank you for your amazing comments. I have posted your query on a couple of forums to see if we can clear this up. I myself have an opinion about these lines but am not an expert in Sunray 21, and would probably learn something along with you. You can follow the discussions here... facebook.com/groups/futurecruisers facebook.com/groups/SailorsandCruisers
Very informative. Question is there anyway that I can mute the sound of the waves? Very annoying. Hard to concentrate. If it can't be muted could the background sound be turned way down?
I realize there are way fewer people interested in the mechanics of how to actually sail a boat, but these examples are awesome and are way more helpful than other videos, where they skim over details without explaining them! Cheers!

great comments, thanks so much
Thanks..good job pardner..!
@@robertnelson6602 awesome, thank you
These are the most informative and easily digestable tutorials I've ever come across. Thank you!

A picture is worth a thousand words. So your animated tutorial was very good.
brilliant, much appreciated

thanks Larry... hopefully one day we can do some of the stays and their settings
