These videos are to help to support the background knowledge to understand what’s happening in a boat. You should learn to sail on a suitable course, led by qualified instructors with appropriate teaching ratios and safety cover. Don’t just buy a boat and try to learn to sail from online videos, as you could end up in a lot of trouble very quickly. Find the governing body for sailing in your own country to locate a suitable reputable course. In the UK the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is the governing body, and also has recognised centres around the word.

@@philswatersports Awesome! My dinghy sailing course starts soon and these videos will help a lot! Cheers!
Great, glad you've found them helpful! And good luck on your course, nothing is better than having time on the water to learn these things
Very well done, sir! Thanks for your work.
Thanks again Jeff for your support, it's really nice to know that the time and effort is appreciated!
Great video! So many things I hadn’t even thought about…releasing the sheet in an onshore wind is genius! Thank you
Hi Poundforce, Thanks for your feedback, glad it was useful for you! Releasing the mainsheet is certainly one that people don't tend to think about but it's really useful, especially in a strong wind. It also allows you to recover your boat bow first up the beach, where it would otherwise be blowing off the trolley. Hope this helps!
Super useful and clear! Thanks.
Glad you found it useful, thanks for the feedback :)
