Sailboat Racing Tips: Downwind Wind Shadows Explained

[@kitertezza]

Video was crystal clear for me, and very informative. I love practicing what I learn in your videos. Thank you from Aus.

Wow loads of great downwind insight here, "I'm going to go faster downwind already I know it" hah but really this was awesome, thank you.

Thank you for the video and also for the specification of these tactics regarding the Sunfish, much appreciated

There is a lot to get my head around in this video. Will need to look at it a few times. First take and understanding indicates that effort will be worthwhile.

Thanks Mike

Thank you 👏

I found the video very interesting and informative but I was confused by the term "massive flies" (or message fly in one part of the transcript). A search on Google just took me to how to avoid flies (insects) on a boat. Please help.

[@kubakesy6121]

I guess you’re talking about whatever is on the top of the mast that can tell what your apparent wind is

[@MarkStiles]

Masthead fly

How can you put out a teaching video when every second word is missing in the video. Sure it’s great but it’s unwatchable
