  • In our Sailing Tutorial series, we are excited to bring you the basics of sail trim, which includes sail draft, sail twist, sailing with balanced sails, and understanding how our keel affects our sail trim. Also includes introduction to tell-tales and air flow on a regular cruising vessel.

    Detail,detail, detail, just the job to absorb the complexity of sail balancing. The best tutorial I have seen so far. Please continue with more instructional videos, thanks!

    This is probably the best instructional video for sail trim I have seen. The animations give so much clarity to go along with your explanations. I have no idea how much time it took you to create this, but my thanks to you for providing it. Liked and subscribed. Obviously, I would love a part 2!

    Love your videos. That ages old FAA explanation of "lift" with the low and high pressure... well... that has been abandoned a long while ago. It is all about the deflection of air mass on the leeward side by the airfoil having a counter reaction. Anyways... I love your vides. I am here for sailing stuff so please keep going.

    How do you trim the sails to reduce lee or weather helm? I get the mechanics but not how to apply them.

    • @searchingforcoconuts2248
      @searchingforcoconuts2248  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      quickest way is to ease out mainsheet, adjust traveller.... If you are still fighting weather helm, it might be time to reef

    Very good. Suggestions: the animation should show more than one line of the wind streaming on each side of the sails. Also, the forces under water are hydrodynamic, rather than aerodynamic.

    Awesome. Very informative. I love all the info and the animations are super helpful. Also, I always thought it was called "keeling" or "off keel" if the boat is leaning to one side. Is that just the american way of saying it? Or is heeling just the austrailian way of saying it? Not sure. haha. I'm just learning. Thank you!!!! Would love to see part two!

    ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO - KEWP 'EM COMING!
    I would only offer one minor-but-important correcrion for you to consider...
    @1:14 you show an airfoil at a zero (0 deg) Angle of Attack and assert that at this angle (basically sailing DIRECTLY into the wind) "... the sail STALLS..."
    This is NOT accurate.
    At a zero Angle of Attack the wing the sail DOESN'T stall, in fact it orovide a LOT of "Sideways" lift :-O....
    What's important to understand is that NOT EVEN THE TINIEST COMPONENT OF THIS "LIFT" IS IN THE "FORWARD" DIRECTION, making it essentially "USELESS LIFT" :-(.
    Instead all thos sideways lift is PERPENDICULAR to the Direction of Travel, again - USELESS.
    Your other sceanrio where the Angle of Attack is too HIGH , and the sail stalls IS accurate.
    KEEP UPNTHE GREAT WORK!
    You've earned another subscriber!..
