Hello everyone
I've managed to clean the old VHS tapes and make a better copy of North Sails Trim for speed
I hope you enjoy it
So nice to see Hans again. It was so nice knowing him in Toronto. He gave us so much advice and helped keep our sails in shape with hundreds of repairs per season with our school’s teaching boats.
I worked for Hans Fogh at North Sails Fogh on Lakeshore Boulevard in Toronto from 1979-1984 in the handsewing dept. Steve Caulder was the superviser at the time. Steve and Hans won an Olympic Bronze for Canada. Myself, Marcel Malass and Mike (lastname unknown) did all the handsewing and installed the hardware on the sails. Steve is a true gentleman. Hans was such a nice guy...RIP Hans...🙏
Thanks for the interesting information. I have sailed with Hans to a World Cup with the Danish 12 meter team. Hans was a really good sailor and I was happy to get to know him. Believes Hans was on North Sail in Canada back then in the mid eighties.
@@JFrislev Yes. Hans, Steve Caulder and John Ker won the bronze for Canada in '84 if I remember correctly. I did the handsewing for all the sails on their Soling for the Olympics that year.
It was great working with him and Steve. Wonderful memories.
Thank you for the memories brought back to me...👍
Thank you for digitizing, cleaning and putting this video in UA-cam. It is the best I have seen so far on sail trimming.
This is phenomenal instructional sailing video. 25 years ago or so I bought the VHS version which is still in a closet somewhere in my house. I must have reviewed it a hundred times until it began to come together on the river. I hope the guys on the boats are still pulling ropes with nautical names somewhere warm and celebrating another day on the water. Thanks fellas for your help.
How is there not a comment on this video? This is the single best video on sail trim throughout the UA-cams.
North Sails has a video called The Shape of Speed. I used to have a VHS copy of a copy of a copy. It was a shitty video quality wise but the info was awesome.

I bet everyone in the video is now old and bald, but this is the best video on sail trim on the internet!
I love this guy..."teamwork and communication..."
De aller, allerbeste video om zeilen te leren!

At least a good and useful sailing video on youtube, now I need a "spinnaga" :-)
Awesome video. Thank you!
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. I worked at the Milford loft in the late eighties and raced on the Sound during those days as well. Oh to be young again.
I took this course when it came out, taught by Tom in Annapolis, at North loft.
This is excellent thank you for taking the time to digitize.
Well done! Great teaching aid. Thanks for digitizing it! Always reference trim adjustments against boat speed...
Thank You very much! For our "old boats" this works just fine!!!
Thanks for sharing this video. Excellent!
Jens thank you!! This is really fantastic 👍🏻
Hi Bruce
Yes, it's a pretty funny video and still current. I myself have been lucky to sail with Hans Fogh back in 88 on the Danish America's cup project
Very good video. They don't say that in a puff the apparent wind comes aft closer to true wind. It is important to understand what is happening and anticipate the lull after the puff and sheet back on. Apparent wind angle is a vector of true wind and boat speed combined.The puff increases the true wind component of the vector giving a velocity shift aft hence you ease the sheet on a puff and trim to the spinnaker luff.My brother was a brilliant spinny trimmer. Kept me focused.
Great job! I learned a lot in this tutorial! Thanks!
Wish I could sail with this crew for a while!! That would be fun
Such an amazing and helpful video. Thanks!
Ottimo, efficace sintesi... bella lezione!
That's the boat I like to sail on. Nothing worse than a helmsman that dictates.
I miss "the shape of speed". It shows you how to knock out a mainsail reef in half a second. I've done that and it's very satisfying.
Looking forward to learn how to trim the spinnahgah this season!
:D
If you owned the same boat that they used in the tutorial, you just hit the jackpot.
This is awesome! So many nuances I hadn't considered-THANKS!
Mange år siden jeg har set den sidst. Super trim video. Tak for upload! 😀
I like how all of you are wearing the same stye life jackets
I honestly thought that was Nick Nolte in the thumbnail
This is a great vid on trimming, very complicated, which makes it good. You sure have to brush up on your sail parts to follow the explanation. This is a keeper!
Hans is great. "Contwol the pwole" lol. Realy good informative vid.
It covered everything. Wish I had a spinn aga.
Watch watch watch, but nothing's like the real thing ... gotta finish building my boat and get her in the water. ... My other favorite video is Spinnaker Sailing

19:04 duel in the sun!
Love his comments at 7:06.
Make more of these
Who else tried to wipe that bit of loose thread off their phone screen at 3:13?
This is an excellent video, but damn am I confused as hell still
Sails trimmed for speed, and in those days string quartets played slow. Very slow.
The video starts at 7:58.

Came with software, I still have.
2nd
Needs more software and sensors.
Who am I to criticize North Sails, but all that jibberish would drive me nuts. Like a rifle squad, a crew should be well-trained and well-drilled, and in that order. That will limit talk aboard in a race to only that which is necessary.
The teaching discussion on shape and trim was excellent.
