As a chap who has migrated to sailing boats from commercial inshore fishing boats, I find your tutorials most informative. Thankyou

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

welcome to the sailing world, thanks for the great positive feedback

[@koroskaforever]

Great video. I am sailing more than 20 years, I read a lot of books about trimming, but this video is really very helpful for all sailors!!

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

that's so great to hear, thanks so much... made our day

[@jeffhodge7333]

That sums up my sailing instruction 60 years ago. "Sails are most efficient when they are on the verge of luffing." So, you let out the sail until it starts to luff, then trim the sail in until the luffing stops. I have always loved simplicity. We tend to over-complicate matters. A child can sail well with this adage.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

wise words, thanks so much for adding value and content to the channel, much appreciated

[@chrisswinnerton1729]

Fantastic videos on sail trim. I've been trying to get my head round sail trim for a little while now but these 2 videos are absolutely the best. All sailing boat sailors should watch these. Thank you so much for making these and sharing.

fantastic to hear, thanks for the great feedback

[@gpetheri]

Brilliant!! Just bought a yacht after 25 years since sailing last, haven't taken delivery yet so I'm brushing up on what I've forgotten. These 2 videos have been extremely helpful. I bought a Macgregor 26X and yes I know, I know.... But I like the simplicity of the layout (minimal sail setting options), perfect for the novice solo sailor. And these days, I ain't in no hurry...........

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

simpler the better, well done... thanks so much for the great comments, keep us updated on your adventures

legenddddddddddd thanks so much

[@spaceoddity2485]

For a headsail in LOW winds you would more the jib car FORWARD. You have this wrong in your video. LOW winds = Forard (more bottome curve) High winds = BACK (flatten bottom)

[@ianmackenzie8831]

Isn't adjusting the car/traveler for a jib under load generally not advised?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

correct, thanks for your contribution... every bit of info helps

[@MJackson-yu7ze]

ib basic sail trim #2 at 4min 36. what do you mean by 'moving the sheet traveller aft" ? Isn't the sheet traveler fíxed in place? How can you move it aft?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

greetings and thanks for watching and adding comments. The sheet traveller is fixed in place, but the block on the sheet traveller can slide fore or aft. Check 4:00 it shows the block is on a track. Not all sailboats will be fitted with this track. In racing, this will get adjusted often. If your boat has no track, the sheets run through a block to the winch, which is fixed. Hope I understood your comment and added some clarity, much appreciated

[@MJackson-yu7ze]

Sweet. Thanks, I'll check it out

[@Al-Storm]

You have it backwards, headsail car goes forward in light wind, not aft.

[@gfocaraccio]

Thanks
