Sailing Theory Tutorials - Sail Construction and Care

[@howarthsailing]

Hi Everyone, I made some changes to my channel this winter that resulted in YT deleting all of my comments/replies on these videos. It's really a shame, because I feel like I have answered quite a few theory questions in the comments section over the years. If you have a question, even if it looks like it's been asked before, please don't hesitate to post a comment, I'll do my best to get back to you. Cheers, JH

As a professional sailmaker, I must say this was really well done!

You manage what other videos and books fail to make clear. Makin sails. What a well presented subject. Thank you!

Hi Julian, I do read and see a lot of sailing tutorials and books....your vids are one of the best sources of information.Very well made ! Easy to understand and of great value for beginners and professional sailers. Thank you for your time and effort and for sharing it, you did a great job ! Franz Vienna

Exceptionally good explanations.

Thank you, excellent demonstration.

Awesome video! Great instruction. I am a novice sailor and what you discussed explained some very important basics. I have been scouring the net to gain as much knowledge as I can and this video will no doubt be a foundation. It's somewhat shocking that there is a video series of an older sailor single handing across the pacific and he is having a VERY hard time with a boat that won't point, he cant get upwind effectively and this adding WEEKS to passages. After watching this video it stuns me that he is sailing in a very remote area of the world with sails that are years and years old and very bagged out....... I'm betting that those sails lost their shape thousands of miles ago, that combined with the reef he has growing on his hull, probably had something to do with the fact that the French airforce sent a jet out to find him after he was two weeks beyond his expected arival in Hiva Ova. Fascinating stuff.... I am a pilot and it is very interesting to me to learn the ways that the sail shape (a vertical wing really) can be manipulated and effected. There are many things we do with airplanes to change the shape of the wing and the airflow across them.....

Good morning. Do you know somewhere where I could download the project to sew a size 5.7 sail in the classic windsurfing style one design windsurfer

[@theoazerty59115]

Hey Julian, Thoses videos are amazing, very clear even for non english speakers ! I would be so interested to see the video about how sailors can change the shape of theirs sails, Will you do this videos ? do you know if I can find one similar on youtube ?

[@theoazerty59115]

@@howarthsailing Wonderful ! I would love to

[@lajosfidy3785]

Just imagined putting my full batten F18 mainsail into a washing machine, when watching the DOs / DON'Ts part :D

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

Nice Video, but, I was hoping to get into some shape math, in sewing and building the sail.. I wanna make a smaller Sail, similar to a wind surfer sail..
