How To Sail: Sail Trim Basics -- Sailing Basics Video Series

Nice....and....precise. Thanks!

Wow subscribe! More sailing videos should be done exactly like this! Thanks!

You’re amazing simple and direct explanation where we’re you when I took my training

Thank you, that was just enough information to begin with....

This is by far the best simple to understand video on setting sails. Thank you on behalf of my family :)

This video talked about a genoa. Is it any different for a jib?

My goal as a student sailor is to learn to make the bottom 80 percentiles look bad and at least try to keep up with some of the others

Thank you for this fantastic and informative video. You are a great at teaching and explaining.

Great video, Thank you!

Good delivery and to the point.

I'm taking ASA 101, 103, 104 & 114. Your channel is amazing. All the concepts become clear to me when I watch your videos. Thank you!!!

Haven't seen this whole concept explained better anywhere, well done and thanks

if I am here looking to learn ,you list the explanation of each term u r using. it will make it more enticing to watch the video without stop let me google what is he talking abt. i have no doubt you are good instructor but i am layman student ....

Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding condensing of the basics. You know what's important and what isn't.

Thanks so much

As a sailing novice I found your instructions to be very clear and helpful. In the midst of so much jargon and terminology, I am always seeking out fundamentals to build upon. You have aided me in my journey! Thanks very much!

Well done! Rey concise and informative!

fantastic. You should do more videos

Very good edit!! Just to pinpoint: imagine you're sailing in good stable conditions, does it add something trying to get the upper telltales in line or is the turbulence up there normal, unavoidable or harder to explain?

Very, very helpful. Thank you so much

Wow thank you for this brilliant series. Finally decided its time to get out onto the water. Thank you for the easy to understand demonstrations, much appreciated.

Brilliant. So simple but awesome tips.

Is a Jib sail the same as the Jenoa Sail?

Simple. Very good thank you

What kind of yacht are they sailing here?

Think of the leading edge of the sail as the front of a wing on a jet. The curvature into the wind causes lift and “pulls the boat forward. In a broad reach or downwind you are being pushed by the wind. The fastest you will go is on a close reach with a proper curvature on the sails to give you the most forward lift of your sails (wings). 😊👍

Good information

Thank you that was taught very well nice and simple and straightforward, I had no idea that “telltale “ was a nautical term I am still smiling about it

G’day, I’m not a sailors boot lace but your explanations on how this all works is easy to help understand the theory of sailing😎🍺👍

does the tip of the boom being over the primary winch on a beam reach work for all size boats? great stuff btw

Haven’t sailed in years but looking to get back into it. These videos are great, thank you.

Perfect

Great insight. Where was this filmed?

Will u hv a video showing us how to control mainsail traveller, including when to adjust the traveller when to adjust the side via the winches ?

Practical and clear explaining, thanks!

Beautifully and simply explained. Thank you so much!

This is awesome! Thank you for the clear and simple explination. I have often heard it said that your sails need to be properly trimmed but never knew what they werre talking about.

Awesome video. Just enough info to be interesting, just concise enough to keep my attention.

The editing and graphics used is next level. Which software do you use to make those graphics of boat 🚢 and wind.

Thank you for this. I got lines everywhere . A tiller in my hand. The wind changing directions constantly and the only thing I've found I don't like about sailboats...obscured view of where I'm going. Only had her under sail once so far. But it was sweet! The keel started humming and I could feel her come to life. Only trouble I get so focused on all this trimming I almost forgot to pay attention to where I'm going. I'm lost but hooked. 🤷‍♂️

😊☺️

I agree, please make more content! Sailing lessons are so expensive and reading just isn’t the same

So easily explained.. Thanks a lot

I screen shot your instructions and have them handy when I'm sailing !

Straight to the point and suitable for earlier stage sailors. Brilliant

Excellent points on elementary sail and boom trimming

epic thx

Do your trim guidelines apply to Catamaran? Or Monohull only?
