So glad i came across these guys. Just started sailing lessons and was searching for more fun, entertaining and informative vids
Great beginner’s guide on sailboat parts. I came across your video because I need a lesson on how to tie and easy the topping lift to raise and lower the boom before raising and lowering the sail. Would appreciate it if you can touch on this topic. Thank 😊
This is the best newbie sailing explanation of terms I have ever seen. I've been trying to learn the massive amount of sailing lingo and most of the reading I've done uses more lingo to explain the lingo. Having this visual is WAY better. Your silly but informative diagrams are also fantastic. Simple and clear to understand. I've already been a subscriber but every once in awhile you guys hit a home run. Great work!
remembering all the terms, easy. keeping count of how many times jack changed shirts, a little more difficult
Alex Lebegue 😂 you know that's Jack's entire wardrobe, in one episode.
I’m 40 years old I work in the west Texas oilfields and I assure you I can out do two twenty year olds any day !!!good videos though see y’all in the Caribbean’s 2019 oceancowboy from Texas 🤠⛵️⚓️
That's fine Moseley! Send us an email: irene@sailingvirgins.com and we can talk courses.
Thank you so much!
You guys do a great job explaining things. I have a idea for a future episode and that would be 'What is best way to have steady helm control in challenging seas'.
I was on Montseratt win September 1989 when hurricane Hugo when over the top of it, unlike the Bahamas, much of Montseratt is hilly and so the damage was "largely" cosmetic (the yacht club and lots of houses demolished due to wind damage); but in 1995-97 the Soufrière Hills Volcano erupted, with vast amounts of ash dropped allover the island -- Plymouth was very hard hit, and the volcano has been on a boils since then. The last "big" eruptions was in 2010. The island was almost entirely evacuated and parts of the island are still in an exclusion zone and subject to short notice evacuation orders. (web.archive.org/web/20061002215712/www.mvo.ms/) -- the housing development we had back in 2000 is still in this zone.
Did you visit the golf course ? It was under 3 m of ash last time I saw it.
A new capital hand airport has been built in the north of the island and a small, but increasing population, has reestablished itself. Tourism is still a challenge, which is a shame for such a luvly island and luvly people.
I am a guy you meet near the cave near risan 👍😂😂
I notice the boat had an ruuter. How does a person know where to go on an boat to not have the rutter get stuck on small islands or be real due to continuous stucks
How deep is draft?
Bings and yeah'sss were annoying and unnecessary otherwize a great video thank you but will have to watch it over a few days because of bings
