Are you doing this as "an amateur"?! The presentation is over everything else on internet. Impressive!!
thank you for taking the time to post such great comments
I find explanations on the boat usually don't let new guests or crew enjoy as much because they can't see the big picture, and they are struggling to learn all the information, so they don't get into the actually sailing. These videos eliminate all the mystery and confusion of the fundamentals and help all to take part in the actual joy of sailing. Thanks for such detailed videos. You are an excellent teacher as you took the complex and made it all simple, and entertaining.
wow, thanks so much for your positive feedback, it is motivating and encouraging
This is exceptionally well done. Clear. Easy to follow. Great visuals. Thank you.
awesome response, thanks so much
At first I didn't think I would like the 3D animations for explaining. They ended up being ideal, seeing the lines run around the boat is perfect. Super helpful for a newby sailor trying to get his boat prepared to single hand.
Thanks so much... Fair winds, keep us updated on your progress
By far the best explanatory videos about sailing riging I have ever seen in the past few years on youtube or elswhere. You guis are doing a tremendious work. Your chosen 3D model strategy and all details are very clear and understandable. Can just imagine how much work it takes ti prepare this material. Respect and very gratefull for this material!
great comments, thanks so much. Thanks for watching and taking the time to add your positive feedback
Im very adventurous and bought a sailing boat. I never sailed a day in my life. Its more comfy than a tent.
But I am doing this adventure alone and need to learn everything I can, and this video series is sooooo perfect. I am totally new. Until now I just used it as a place to live in, but yesterday was the day I (we) put the mast back up. First time since I got it. And now Im rigging everything and get ready for my first sail.
It helps immensly to see where all the sheets go, where to connect them, how to arrange everything.
Thank you sooooooo much! I recommend this to every newb sailor I meet, and hope you get more views. Atleast as many as deserved and hopefully even more.
Maybe you can put the used terminology into the video descriptio. That would help a little, I think
greetings and thank you so much for the great and encouraging comments. Hope you get sailing soon... new video will be released soon, with extra links in the description, your suggestion is appreciated...
Absolutely brilliant videos for any sailor or someone who’d like to learn the terms and basics of how sailing should work….well done
Thanks Alan, much appreciated and thanks for watching
Your excellent moving graphics truly enhances the tutorial beyond imagination. Truly amazing. I am sure alot of work goes behind the making of the presentation. You are a great teacher really. Thank you so much.
No, thank you... your comments make all the work worth it, much appreciated
New to this channel, and I’m impressed. I have watched dozens of videos, and this one is superior to them. Simple, concise, and informative. Please keep up the great work.
such great comments, thanks so much... working hard on our next video
Dude you have no idea how helpful this is to beginners. Running rigging is the most confusing at the start.
you have no idea how much your positive comments are appreciated, thanks so much
@@searchingforcoconuts2248 Keep it up, you have a new subscriber and I look forward to learning more from you. Truly a fountain of information.
Best explanation I could find
I have a lot more respect for sailors after watching this vid!
thanks for watching and sharing, much appreciated
Wow - these series are must have for beginners ! I love the simplicity and pace on these. Great series and hope continues on these basic concepts that take so Long to get grounded on.
Thank you so much, it's great to hear such positive feedback
These video are perfect. Easy to understand and informative. Thank you
that's great to hear, thanks for adding these awesome comments
Fantastic,now I know what all these sailing channels are on about when they talk about lines,reefing and so on.
A great big well done is deserved for this....thx
awesome to hear, thanks for taking the time to post such positive comments
As usual - Excellent !
At last a coherent description of a reefing system!
ah, thanks so much, fantastic feedback and a great start to the weekend
Very helpful, crewing on a boat off the scottish highlands...clear and precise...thanks...
Without question the most instructive, patient and Cogent guide to sailing I've struck upon during multiple hours of web surfing. A first class lesson In The art of instruction.
wow, such great comments, it makes a huge impact on our channel thank you
Excellent teaching. Thank you.
Cette série d'animations est remarquable. Bravo pour les graphistes et pour le réalisateur de l'ensemble. ..... un clin d’œil du Québec, Canada
Excellent tutorials, thanks mate. Shows exacrly what I wanted to know, and the graphics are very clear, as is the explanation.
much appreciated, thank you for your kind comments
Always Learning from your channel. ❤
thanks so much, means a lot 😋
Well I just been asking a rigger what certain parts were on my boat. I knew what the tell tails were but was surprised to find backup tell tails for use in a storm. Now I know that they are actually reef ties!!! I am a proper newb so this is fabulous learning for me.
😂😂 that's awesome, when I did my first course, I didn't even know you could reef a sail
Great commentary and the videos are so easy to understand. Very cool.
what a legend, thanks man
Probably the best tutorial on YT! Great job and fair winds from Victoria BC :)
wow, thanks so much for your great comments, highly appreciated
These animations are incredible. Amazing video!!!
wow, thanks so much
Thank you thank you thank you! I have been searching in vain for a simple tutorial video on reefing for years. Yours is excellent.
Thanks Wallace, so glad to hear you enjoyed the video
Thank you, going on a course before spring, just buying a boat now and you have swept the fog away from the basics of operating a sail boat brilliantly.
Thanks Tim, amazing feedback. Exciting times ahead for you, wish you well
I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU VIDEOS!!!! AWSOME!!! :-)))
Amazing work, thank you!
thanks for your great comments, much appreciated

Great job and explanation!

This is excellent. Thanks for the clear tutorial.
you're welcome, thanks for the great comments :)
Just finished watching the first three in this series. Wonderful stuff. I’ve never sailed even once in my life, and now never will due to disability, but I learnt a lot about sailing as a child from the wonderful Arthur Ransome. These videos really brought everything into focus though, and it’s something I wish I could have seen working before!
I still enjoy being able to join in on sailing conversations...and now I can imagine things so much more clearly.
Thank you 👍
Thank you for sharing and adding such positive comments, much appreciated
I don't know if this might apply to you but many cities have small sailboats boats outfitted for use by people with disabilities. Swallows and Amazons was one of my childhood favourites as well!
@@Alsatiagent thanks so much for the reply. I don’t think I’d ever be able to, but it would be interesting to see the kind of accessibility features they might have. I’ll look up some videos on that lol 👍 cheers
Wonderful illustrations and clear concise explanations. Subscribed! As someone who hasn't sailed in 30 years, this is the perfect refresher before I get back out there in september sailing courses. Keep them coming please and thank-you!
greetings and thank you for your great feedback, keeps me motivated and focused, much appreciated
All of your videos are great. Geep on doing them! I subscribed at the first video! Good job

I just watched 1 to 3. Invaluable and dare i say it- so many sailors don't use the kicker as its intended for. Thanks for the lessons..
ah, thanks so much for your time and amazing comments... I have to agree about the kicker
Wow, what an excellent video!
awesome, thanks so much
thanks so much for your positive comments
Attaching reef crinkle securely reef hook requires some magic.
a lot of swearing also helps :)
thank you so much for this video - really helpful
thank you for watching and adding such great feedback, makes it all worth it
Fantastic
thank you, very much appreciated
Best tutorials I have seen - esp for forgotten skills and knowledge
😊 great comments to start the weekend off, thanks again
Very well explained and excellent diagrams
much appreciated, thanks so much
So enjoying these! It’s 25 yrs since I’ve sailed. I began at 12 yrs old in 1969 on Lake Muskoka in Ontario Canada, in an 11’ Moth scow. Then it was a 28’ Jeanneau on Lake Erie, then the Abbott 24’, then a 38’ C&C on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. I also did a couple of delivery trips from the Great Lakes to the Caribbean for Kanter Yachts when they were in their original yard.
Now I’m retired, and moving to Canada’s west coast where I’ll be shopping for a new used boat, hopefully a 40’ Island Packet. I’ll be living aboard.
It’s a bit like riding a bike, but I really need “refreshing”, so thanks a lot!
(the “heave to” lesson was fabulous!)
Peace
thanks so much for your great comments... hope everything works out for you, keep us updated...
excellent video - thank you very much
excellent comments, thank you very much :)
Thank you so much for these simple, yet immensely informative videos. While I have been reading much in anticipation of my first sailing course this summer, much of what is described goes over my head. Yes, you understand what they are saying, but only after watching your videos, has it sunk in.
Bravo and well done!
thanks so much, good luck in your upcoming courses and let us know how things progress
Ty great help. Confident ro practice now.
massive thanks, much appreciated
I've always learned best from these kind of CBTs (computer based training). The speed and detail is excellent - well done.
thanks so much for your great comments and thanks for watching
I noticed on Emerald Steel, they mention always going to the second reef at night, whether they need it or not. I also notice Delos doesn't like anyone leaving the cockpit alone at night. It's good to see the mechanics of what's being done. A very nice set of videos.
regarding the Delos example, this is something all sailing schools should teach and all crews should adhere to... as far as going to second reef at night, the Pardeys always followed some great procedures to take care of boat and crew and always sailed with a kind of "what if" mentality. Their books contain some wonderful tips on safe sailing and how to extend the life of equipment and ensure safety of crew, including putting a reef in at night and waking up crew should it be necessary to leave the cockpit. thanks for your great comments
@@searchingforcoconuts2248 Thank you for your videos. I'm pretty land locked, but my grandfather was a captain. Recently, well, somethings and people aren't what and who I thought. Everything's gone, but now, anything's possible. I'm very much thinking of heading back to the coast. I was supposed to sail with a friend this fall, but it's been a strange year and like everyone's everything, it fell through. Maybe this summer.
@@runemrick here's to 2021
Great tutorial and animation , I have sailed since childhood on small boats up to a 68ft. Schooner, everything was old school
No winches or furling. I would love to sail now with these advantages. Thank you for sharing this great series ⛵️⛵️
thanks so much for your great comments, they are much appreciated and highly encouraging
This is a fantastic video. Wel Gadaan!
lekker dankie, much appreciated
Excellent
Thankyou all 😁
thanks so much, great feedback
I'm getting back into sailing after not having a boat for a while, going from toppers / lasers / hawk 20 to an Eygthene 24 1/4 ton, this is the single best resource i've found so far on brushing up on my knowledge, and excellent with the visuals. Thank-you so much for a great resource.
Hi Joshua, thank you so much for your kind comments, much appreciated, good luck sailing forward
excellent
thank youuuuu
Thanks for this info! I was wondering why my mainsail had holes in it 😂
😂 as long as it's not other holes and tears, much appreciated
Very good, I wasn’t sure how you were able to change outhauls on the reefed sails
Thanks for watching and adding such amazing comments, much appreciated
Great animation, just one point before you raise the boom after you ease the boom vang, I was taught to ease the mainsail so it de powers the mainsail and allows the boom to be raised more easily., I did not see that process, and if you agree you may want to add that sequence into your next update. I think you have done a fantastic piece of educational skills training with this and congratulate you.
Cheers
The right time to reef is when you first think about it. see a squall on the horizon? put a reef in. sleeping under sail with a newbie on watch? put a reef or two in, just in case. etc etc.
agreed, we spend all of our night sailing and extended passages, reefed, usually to second reef. makes no difference in speed, just added comfort and peace of mind
Its a great guide to follow while I wait on my luck in Lotto so the Millions come... :)
thanks for your great comments, good luck with the lotto
I just bought a 6 metre sailboat with a trailer, for AUD$14,000.
Perfect for learning to sail, especially with these tutorials helping.
Forget lotto tickets!
@@allancouceiro9905 - Good Luck and maybe that is a good idea :)
@@BertMerlin57 you’ll have better luck in buying crypto ...
Excellent block of instructions is always if the book is not out when is it coming out thank you again
wow, thanks so much
Thank you soooo much
much appreciated, thank you
Buen video
gracias 😃
Great set of videos foir beginners.. Could you do a video on rigging / operating a spinaker?
thanks for the feedback and the suggestion, will definitely look into that
Us sparks couldn't rig a raffle nice job Mister
Great vid, thank you. Perhaps you shoul mention that, for riffing, it is needed to point your bow towards the wind, in order to "unload" the sail. Either that or, better, release the tension on your main sail sheet. Then, it would be something like this: release main sheet, tense the lift, release the vang, releas slowly the halyard of the main sail, insert the ring in the hook of the goosneck, then tense back the mail halyard, tense the riff sheet, release the lift and tense the vang. Finaly, tense the main sheet in order to re-trim the main sail...
Sorry for my english. Greatings from Argentina!
thanks for your input, much appreciated
Awesome animation and very clear instructions.
Question: does the outhaul (for full sail) have to be loosened before tightening the 1st reef clew line?
thank you for the great comments. To answer your question, no it's not necessary to loosen the main outhaul, enjoy
searching for coconuts thank you
thankyou
thank you for watching
What an amazing and accurate explanation!
What program do you use for the animation?
thanks so much, I use Blender... www.blender.org
Excellent videos! From the animation it looks like Coconuts has a boom furling system, is that so? I never experienced it. If that is the case, what’s your take on that system? Do you like it? (Modern sailboats tend to come now with in mast furling instead).
Hi Dan... the original videos had a flaking mainsail and stack pack but it proved very difficult to animate, so although it looks like a boom furling system, it is not... it was the easiest and most aesthetic way to produce
