Great video and commentary- FS5846

watching and learning from Hoover sailing club

I have never sailed but I just imagined capsizing, pointing, and yelling "swim to the mast! don't let it sink!"

Great video. Thanks. In the Lightning class, when we are on the final SB tack for the mark, we set the pole first. We start pulling the guy and hoisting as we round. We also lower the jib. I was just wondering why the Scot does it differently. Is it because so many sail with crews of two and hoisting while rounding would be a bit much?

such an awesome event! what a great day!

Your imaginary staring line is not in the correct spot. It should be a line from the course sdie of the pin end buoy, not from the middle of that buoy.

How did you even (intentionally) manage to capsize that boat while turning it into the wind? Was that purely caused by your bodyweights being thrown outboard during the tack?

I’m trying out for my school’s sailing team and this. Video is really helpful, thanks!

Great video! I ve got a 10ft Bauer dinghy. In June I capsized on a large pond, turtle Immediately! Did everything Wrong too. Once I had uncleated the main, jib was not on board, I jumped on the board and she came up. Boat was swamped, I was being assisted by a lifeguard boat and they offered to tow me ashore. Besides having more buckets and scoops I added a dedicated line to my rail which will assist me in climbing on boat if I turtle again. What else would u recommend?

Ready to see everyone at the 2024 Glow!!

What's the order of presidence of the rules?

How much did that dock cost?

Great video! Can you make a video explaining how to fly the spinnaker? I saw your video about rigging the spinnaker and bringing it down, but it would be very helpful to have one about how to raise it, fly it, and how to jibe with the spinnaker up. Thanks!

Thank you for the video. The youtube algorithm recently started showing me SailGP videos, which I find very fascinating. However, I found it difficult to find and comprehend the rules for the right of way. This is a clear and quick video and explains all the basic rules.

Excellent walkthrough! Just subscribed in hopes of more like this video :)

good evening! Sailboat. nice ,take it easy, ✋

One of the best explained and example illustrations tutorials on YT. Make more!

Great video. Still learning obviously 😅

Wow Sailor great episode ❤

Sailed a lot of Merlin Rockets back in the day. A young upstart once quizzed a master boat builder how wide the centre board should be. Wide enough for two was the answer..!

Great video!I'm wondering if you accept to buy a desktop stand to lift and support your monitor or laptop? I think this would make the desk space much cleaner and help promote productivity

Looking great! Can’t wait to learn more from your series ⛵️

Looks great! I have a question on the top down setup: Do you have the ability to adjust the color temperature of the lighting or white balance in your editing software here; this segment appears to be a bit too warm. Regardless keep the content coming!

Nice work. A slight variant is the "scoop method"--one person on the centerboard and the other grabs a hiking strap. When the boat rights, the person holding onto the hiking strap is scooped into the boat, and then can assist the other crew member to get back on board.

Easy to understand. Good for newbies

Thank for the video! I’m going to start as a sailing instructor this summer teaching sailing on Flying Scots… but I’ve admittedly never sailed one before though. I’ve only done team racing and regattas with 420’s but I’ve been reassured they are easier than 420’s so I’m trying to learn all I can and start sailing them before starting.

This is a great video!

'promo sm'

Great video! Are you able to change the rate at which boat speed information is updated with the Telemetry Overlay program? Having a speed resolution of 1/10 of a knot or miles per hour is very useful but since the numbers are updated so frequently it is difficult to follow. Can this information be displayed less frequently, like once every three or five second intervals? Thanks for posting this video.

What if you are alone ?

Down wind to up wind would be a good inclusion

👀 "Promosm"

Great video. In my real world experience with three separate capsizes, heavy winds and waves will make that mast sink much faster than in this video, especially if the wind hits the hull square on. The swimmer needs to get to the mast immediately, and any pressure on the mast, such as with the crew holding on the mast and boat in this video, will sink it even faster. If there’s any danger of turtling as the mast sinks, the crew needs to get away from the hull so they don’t get caught underneath. This is why I prefer to have both crew immediately head for the mast head. Also, if the spin is in the water, stay away from it. It can wrap around your legs and take you down if the mast sinks. While it’s good to practice on a calm day, it’s rare that capsizes happen in anything but extreme conditions, and the boat can behave much differently in these situations and turtle incredibly fast if you don’t get to that masthead fast enough. Been there done it.

What if the boat were totally flooded?

I thought that sailing was just increadibly boring. Until I watched this. Now I KNOW sailing is increadibly boring.

Stopper knot and figure 8 are same knots. The halyard quick release is an awesome trick! Had not seen this before, and makes perfect sense! Thanks, Eric!!!!

Hi sir respect I wish I could tie all the knots like that 😮,quick question... the stopper knot and figure of eight are the same knots right

I wish Rick would pretend to not know how to sail more often when I'm racing against him😊

Really nice! Thanks. I’m guessing that (to be perfect😊) if the main had been pushed out completely at 2:12 then a quicker jib with no centre board could have been used to pivot the boat with no need for rudder paddling? Nice all the same. Thanks again.

great demonstration

I like your roll-tacking video, but not this one. Maybe I am missing the point of staying on the low side, even if it is just an exercise. There are five advantages in moving to the new side early, before the tack, but I don't know of any advantages in not moving. Maybe can you do a video of tacking without using the tiller?

this is awesome!! Thanks!!

Ohhh I am so glad I watched this video so many times before, for sure was useful last Saturday at Glow when we capsized on our last leg of the 4th race. Thanks for making this video available for us to continue learning!

Great job with such a short video!

that's suer content, 😯

Very quick, simple and clear - a handy refresher for start of the season. Thanks, mate!

Fantastic video!!!
