Perfect thanks!
Thank you, much appreciated, please note: This video has been updated with enhanced graphics and improved sound, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/tRgWtPaCQQc/v-deo.html
you need a new microphone brother
all donations welcome 😂 thanks for watching
Corrections - Remember!!! starboard = very important information! port side= information nice to know Examples: Courtesy flag, Quarantine, diver in water, etc - Starbord spreader Your nationality, language, sailing club - Port spreader Boat Registration - Sternpole (or Backstay if necessary)
thanks for the info, much appreciated
beautiful and details...perfect for noob like me
what great comments, thanks so much
Just what I've been looking for; practical explanation of sail shape.
much appreciated, and thanks for watching
First thing to learn is how to splice your main brace
Green is starboard right not forward
correct...
Sorry, the dizzy spinning and terrible sound stopped me. Thank you for the hard work anyway. Would you consider editing this again? Thank you.

Good video. Audio is poor
Outstanding channel. PLEASE keep posting ✌️
thanks so much 🙏🙏 next video being produced as we speak...
Awesome easy description, thanks!
thanks a lot, much appreciated
I would have learned if I could have heard you clearly, but the waves were to loud. Sorry, I can't give you a thumbs up on this one because of that.
understood, beginner's mistakes...This video has been updated with enhanced graphics and improved sound, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/tRgWtPaCQQc/v-deo.html
Thanks
most welcome, thanks for watching
wow...this video has not enough views!!! Really helpful thank you!
thanks for watching and adding such great comments, much appreciated. It is quite a recent video so the views are getting there, thanks to input from folks like yourself
What about splicing the main brace 😂
Amazing thank you so much
awesome comments, much appreciated
How much reverb you want bro? Him: yes.

Great video!
the stern line should be led to the aft bit on the dock cleat
yes, you are correct, small oversight on my part as our stern overshoots the dock and we have no choice but to tie up as such
@@searchingforcoconuts2248 That makes sense. I was referring to the diagram at 2:05. General recommendation is to lead a dock line (whether stern, bow, spring or breast) to the far bit of the dock cleat, wherever possible
Very informative video ,thanks🎉❤
thanks so much for watching and adding such great comments
Hey Derek, we just got our first boat, (for free)! She's a Lotus 25 & guess what? She's called Nicole Lol. Having now sorted all the running rigging, (Thanks to your tutorials), we now have to sort a holding tank because we are on the lakes in Sweden whilst we learn how to sail, so this is perfect. Love your sense of humour Kiki & Ian
Amaaaazing, Nicole will never let you down 😂😂 yeah I guess in Sweden you don't have a choice regarding holding tank, but we are so happy we installed ours... Updates please, and thanks for watching
@@searchingforcoconuts2248 Will definitely give you updates once we take her out, this last 4 weeks has been replacing things & talking lots with the owner of our local chandler about the various options we have in setting her up, we also have a week booked with a local sailing club for lessons in the 1st week of July. I commented to help you guys out with the algorithm because I was suprised you don't have more subscribers considering the thorough tutorials you provide, just one question for now... Found any coconuts yet? Lol Fair winds
@@kikikirk 😂😂 found many coconuts, but never enough 😂😂 thanks for the help with comments, always appreciated. We continue to grow so we are happy as such. Enjoy the lessons
The distracting water sound is F-ing stupid!
This video has been updated with enhanced graphics and improved sound, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/tRgWtPaCQQc/v-deo.html
Great video! How long did take for you take create this?
😂 great comments thank you... This was 4 weeks, around 4/5 hours a day
Best educational video I’ve seen on this concept.
amazing feedback, thanks so much
This was very easy to understand and follow, especially with the 3D models. I’ll try these tricks out this season. Thank you 🙏
fantastic feedback, thanks so much. Let us know how the season goes...
I really like your videos. A lot of effort has been put into them, and it shows.
thanks for watching and posting such great comments, hugely appreciated
Very nice video thank you for sharing
thanks so much for your amazing feedback, it's very motivating
Thank you so much !
Very interesting. Did u make it to Thailand?
Great video except please turn down the water sounds so we can more clearly hear you
Thank you for the great feedback, This video has been updated with enhanced graphics and improved sound, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/tRgWtPaCQQc/v-deo.html
Fantastic graphics 🎉
great stuff, thanks so much
Qualcuno può aiutarmi nel capire come si installa ?
follow the link in the comments, good luck
UTC is a time line... 0 longitude is the Prime Meridian
I decided to learn some basics because I just watched "Adrift" movie
let's hope we never find ourselves in those conditions
I have found my home❤❤
welcome home 😂😂
Brilliant .
thank you, much appreciated
So great to be able to see these concepts in action. Great work. Thanks!
amazing comments, thank so much
Good job
great to hear, thanks so much
Thanks!
Thanks so much, very kind of you and much appreciated
These vids are great! The renderings could be lightened a little. Kinda' dark. But great! Keep at it.
Thanks so much, will work on lighting
It's not very easy to understand he's making it a lot more complicated with unclear and overly confusing graphics as well
thank you, your comments are noted
Excellent explanation. Thank you
thanks so much, great feedback
Where is the sailing?
This is exceptionally well done. Clear. Easy to follow. Great visuals. Thank you.
awesome response, thanks so much
This video is great! (but the audio needs help) Thanks!

Make one for jib travelers, please.
If you mean, self-tacking jibs, then yes, maybe one day... We cover the jib traveler in our sail trim video, check it out ua-cam.com/video/x6XOKA_DkOw/v-deo.html
This video is excellent. However I am confused because some commentators use the terms 'Hydrovane' or Windvane' systems which seems to imply they are different systems!!!! So my question Is; Is using the term 'Hydrovane' or 'Windvane' one and the same???
thanks for watching and your amazing feedback, much appreciated. A wind vane is actually a system for showing from which direction the wind is blowing from, or any apparatus affected by the wind. I guess the correct term would be a wind vane self-steering system. Hydro refers to water so not sure how that fits in. Then some refer to the systems according to brand names, such as "Wind Pilot". While there are variations in design, they all perform the same function, keeping the vessel on a course in relation to the apparent wind. Hope this helps, thanks again
@@searchingforcoconuts2248 Thank you. Yes I think Hydrovane is a manufacturer but it is still a windvane steering system. I am clear now.
