You seem to have some of your terminology confused. Look up the meaning of terms before you publish them. Stays are only fore and aft. LWL = Load Waterline Length. There's a free sailing course at ASA. You should check it out here : asa.com/certifications/ Thanks for your effort.

Probably a very good video, but you need to put the coughing guy away from the microphone, His coughing and pencil tapping are really distracting and interupts the audio, which is just as important as the video

I enjoyed your video but was confused by your port and starboard explanation. I am in aviation and we use a lot of the same terms and so the way we explain port and starboard is in reference to the front on the ship as you look at it.

Gregg Christensen should be as you look forward not at it.
@draculatod35596 жыл бұрын
His explanation was a little confusing port is the left side of the vessel facing forward and right side is starboard I think he was just trying to get across the fact that it's not relative to your body it's relative to the ship

One small error: When Matt defines Freeboard, he refers correctly to the Waterline. But when he gets to Waterline LENGTH (LWL), he misdefines it as freeboard (distance from deck to water). Half of these terms are more interesting to a sailing geek like me than a first-day student, IMO.

I watched all four videos and found them very helpful. The one problem I had was when the instructor asked a question and a student answered I couldn't hear what the answer was. It would be helpful if the instructor repeated the answer.

PoolBoysTX1 - that's the great thing about the English language each subject has its very own technical language. If you're not catching on immediately, what you need to do is watch the video over and over again until you start catching on. Eventually you will catch on and you will understand.

What you have is the back in the boat in your control. Push the tiller away the back of the boat goes with it. Maybe that's a personal point but I found it worked to the point that it became so engrained in my consciousness that when I moved to wheeled keel boats I spent much of the having to battle my instinct to steer the back of the boat with the wheel. Worked really well on dinghys and small keelboats tho. :-) I had a lot of fun in i420s over the years. Great boats.
@ianedmonds919111 жыл бұрын
Good lecture. A few points. You should tell them why waterline length is such a big deal in a dinghy. Some early mention of the three modes of dinghy sailing would be useful even just as a reference. Telling them hull waterline length is important without talking about displacement mode top speeds is not crystallising the lesson imho. About the tiller acting in the opposite way to the wheel of a car. I came to think about the tiller as steering the back of the boat.
@Kimdino111 жыл бұрын
Incidentally, a 4th meaning of 'tack' is the leading (windward) edge on a square sail. Seems irrelevant here, but if you watch the manoeuvring of a tall (i.e. square rigged) ship that 4th meaning covers covers the other three. The use of the word in modern sailing boats then makes much more sense.
@Kimdino111 жыл бұрын
Excellent set of talks for starting sailing. All necessary info with no extraneous crap. All applicable to cruising, racing or pottering about, Whether dinghy or megayacht. If this could be professionally filmed with the same guy presenting to the camera, instead of a noisy audience (& ideally translated to English) then I would want to give a copy of all the newbie sailors before they first get on a boat. All they will then need is practical experience. Thanks, mate.

Anytime you use an on-camera microphone, you have to have at least one smoker coughing up a lung in the audience. It's the law.
