You really don't get much genuinely for free these days on KZbin and this is a rare exception. Wonderfully clear, ad-free explanation of an aspect of sail-trimming which has always been a bit of a mystery and here is just beautifully explained. Top marks, and thank you! Wish I knew which was your sailing school!

I don't like racing but I do like sailing efficiently. Even though it is difficult for a brit to take overseas advice because we are supposed to "rule the waves", thank you for this simple explanation. Now if you could just give me the same understanding of genoa cars.....

Brilliant. I appreciate the background (true wind vs apparent) and especially the pace of the instruction. Gets right to it. The pace, the tempo, keeps you "with" the teacher. Most KZbin stuff is so un-focused, you lose focus, too. This instruction invites you--like a sail--to 'keep up,' and therefore you do. Well done.

I have a modern cruising sailboat with spring loaded boom vang and no traveler on the main sheets. It think this is the norm for many cruisers nowadays. This is a very good tutorial, much appreciated.

Wonderful explanation of the reason sail twist is necessary. True wind vector is greater at the sail head than at the foot, therefore, apparent wind direction (and magnitude) are also different.

Back when I was racing I never relied on the boom vang to close the roach; I'd adjust the Cunningham instead, bearing down hard on the Cunningham as wind speeds increased. Shows how much has changed in the almost 50 years since I competitively raced; only time I ever used the boom vang was on a broad reach or a run in apparent-wind speeds over 8 knots, and would rarely secure to the base of the mast. I'd normally secure the foot end outboard along the gunwale or jib track (depending on point of sail), in an attempt to avoid a Chines jibe when high seas were off my port or starboard quarter. Never gave me a problem. If I needed to stiffen the main I'd rely almost exclusively on the traveler and main sheet, and would make small tuning adjustments with the outhaul and Cunningham as wind velocities increased.

@ImMora15 жыл бұрын
2:24 the traveler alone does NOT control the twist in the sail. It only controls the angle of the main relative to the centerline. To control twist you use mainsheet and the traveler only allows the mainsail to be pulled close to the centerline even when the mainsheet is loosen to give the sail more twist when going upwind in heavier winds, so to control twist with a traveler you always need to use it in combination with the main, unless you are changing your heading relative to the wind. Otherwise this is a very good video.

Nice video but a point on the names used. The boom vang is known as the kicking strap or just "kicker" in the UK. I've never heard the term boom jack used for this application.
@briane1735 жыл бұрын
My guess is "boom jack" came into use when more boats started using the telescoping hydraulic boom vang. It'll always be a "boom vang" in my parlance.

Good video but misuses the term 'roach' when he's actually talking generically about the 'leech'. The leech is the aft edge of any sail. Main sails are not usually a perfect triangle and any additional area aft the straight line from the head to the clew is called the roach.
