How to raise the Mainsail ... on the Andrews 21

[@JohnCornellier]

A note for any beginners watching this: the halyard in the cabin is pretty unusual. Usually it's at the bottom of the mast. Also a lof of simpler boats won't have a boom vang, cunningham, or traveller. Also, it's rather unusual to put the main up at the dock. He did this for the demo, but usually you motor out and raise it facing the wind.

My wife has just passed ASA101 in Kaoshiung, Taiwan. These videos are very helpful!

[@SpinnakerSailingSF]

Thanks great to hear! How was her experience learning in Taiwan?

[@terrydickinson7252]

Good but Kaohsiung Harbour not as pretty as San Francisco Bay!

Great stuff!

Love the SF scenery

Is there a good reason the halyard is in the cabin? Seems a bother. Is it merely for security so it can be locked up?

Lol. No, it's just a quirk for this boat. It is a bit a of a pain but you get use to it.
