[@morzee94]

This is such a good series! I’ve improved a lot over the past few days by watching these videos in the evenings after a days sailing. Thank you so much 😊

Thanks Luke Glad they helped. That is how we intended the videos to be used.

I've just started my RYA level one and these videos have been brilliant. Thanks so much for the uploads.

Glad they help. They were made to support training as an introduction to what you will do then a refresher to help cement the learning Welcome to the world of sailing!

Love the videos, just learning to sail and have not quite got the gybe yet😂 I’m the common mistake where it goes over☹️ going to pull the main sheet in some next time so it’s not so harsh when the boom comes by! Thanks

What boat is that?

[@akkiller8454]

why have the center bored up and not all the way down what does keeping it up do

[@akkiller8454]

@Daniel Hebditch Ok thank you but why not just leave it down the whole time so you dont have to worry about it

[@akkiller8454]

@Daniel Hebditch ok thank you how long have u been sailing I just bought a small boat a couple weeks ago and in between good wind and work only have gone a few times

[@akkiller8454]

@Daniel Hebditch ok

Well done on the comments The centreboard is generally needed sailing upwind to stop side slip. Sailing away from the wind needs less, but this is depending on apparent wind. If you go fast (as with an asymmetric spinnaker) then a bit of board is needed but in “normal” sailing when sailing across Iraq away from the wind less is needed. Don’t take it all the way yo as the boat can become unstable Tim Sailaboat
