When the boat heel - SVN sailing, the SVN network sailing lessons

This video is about heeling. Everything we need to know about it: how much to heel, how far can you safely heel, and how to control heeling.
The video has been produced with the essential support of NSS charter, the biggest Italian charter company. NSS Charter gave us the boats and the people we needed to organize and shoot this video.

I finally get things I never got before!

[@fredericknewman6338]

This is so damn interesting!

[@jonaht2330]

Maurizio, you're freaking awesome at explaining stuff.

[@anthonyward4654]

That was crystal clear, my friend!

[@ryanrichardson7285]

Hey, dude, you're freaking awesome!

[@richardbruna1969]

So, it's not just about the weight of the keel, but also its surface, right?

[@allensmall5448]

When the boat heels I get scared

[@christianfisher4164]

Well-explained concepts. Bravo. So if I understand correctly, the heavier and deeper the keel, the more sail I can have, the faster I am? There are no limits? On a 12 meter can I have a 100 sqm mainsail and an 80 sqm Genoa?

[@beppe524]

Thank you

Sardinia it is the best place in Mediteraneen sea

[@georgebrown2974]

In June I will go to Cala dei Sardi, I hope to meet you there.

[@xavpil2]

Bravo!

[@jamest484]

Now I get why my boat's rudder became so hard to move.
I thought having the gunwale in the water was the real sailor's way to sail.

[@gmssails]

That's beginner's misconception. If you experiment you'll find the boat will be faster with less heal, so reef early with no loss of speed and ease the traveler to avoid being over-powered and you'll sail faster!

[@stevenbryant8445]

If I pay, can I come along and do these things with you?

[@phillywonkaCa]

Really great explanation - graci

[@joshuav.d.3777]

I also watched the other English video. Sorry, I don't speak Italian.

[@enrico8553]

I checked out your digital magazine. Don't you have an English or French version, by any chance?

[@bendoring2274]

In my opinion, the best moment to reef down is when you first begin to think about reefing. Half an hour later, your crew will say, we're glad that we have reefed already...

[@solovelanet]

We agree with you 100%.

[@stephenburnage7687]

20 - 25 degrees of heel is very little? I am obviously not a racer. That's a lot to me.

[@solovelanet]

We didn't mean to say that 25° heel is not much. We ment that, even when the boat appears to be extremely heeled, so that you might feel it is 40°-45° with the toe rail is in the water, it is actually heeling by only 20°-25°.

[@freddieholmes5581]

Dude, you're talking a bunch of nonsense.

[@ecobuildmanagement]

Yeah and you are a clown, so what?
