Beginners Guide to Sailing - An Introduction

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.พ. 2014
- This is a basic beginners guide to how boats sail, parts of a boat, points of sail and a triangular course.
Key insights
⛵️ The wind is both the power source and the brake for a boat, determining its ability to sail and move through the water.
⛵ The sails on a boat are like an engine, providing power and acceleration.
🌬️ Adjusting the shape of the sail and controlling the wind flow with ropes and strings is essential for optimising the boat's speed and direction.
🌬️ Pointing the nose of the boat away from the wind while keeping the sail in the same position can lead to instability and the risk of capsizing due to the wind pushing on the side of the boat.
🌬️ Positioning the sail correctly in relation to the wind is crucial for maximising its effectiveness and speed.
🌬️ When doing a jibe, it's important to be positive about where you're going and keep adjusting the sail to maintain balance and avoid capsizing.
🌬️ The direction of the wind affects the boat's position and requires adjusting the sail and using the rudder to navigate effectively.
⛵️ Sailboats can go in all directions except straight into the wind, but the wind is crucial in helping you stop the boat and determine your position.

As a total novice of 64 yrs old I watched this and came away enlightened. Then i read the other comments and realised that so did everyone else. That is a remarkable success story, and totally well-deserved. Thank you.
Great tutorial!!! I sailed a Sunfish 40 years ago. Buying another one and wanted a refresher. This is perfect!!!
Hands down the best explainer of tacking and jibing I’ve heard. I get it, now.
Thanks
This is a best "truly beginner" video I've seen. Thank you for putting this together.
I agree, it was great!
Wes could you make a playlist for us new kids on the block? or know any online resources that can help further a newb ? Im diving in deep knowing nothing from the start.
Hi, this video was created by Yeadon Sailing Club using Active Presenter, Illustrations by YSC and onscreen boat tool Sail Board by Yeadon Sailing Club www.yeadonsailingclub.co.uk/sailboard/
yeadonsailingclub Great!!
Of all the videos Ive watched, this one made complete sense to me.
What a fabulous tutorial. Easy to understand, well presented and with no unnecessary self indulgent nautical waffle, just the facts and what you need to know. Well done and thank you !
Very clear explanations. Well done, mate! Minor correction: trimming or easing a sail may change its shape but the main purpose is to adjust the relationship of the sail to the wind. As you hint, the kicker (boom vang) and other lines attached to the sail are used to change its shape. Obviously I know you know that but misspoke. That very minor error aside, it's a real gift to be able to explain things clearly. Thanks for sharing!
That initial image with bunch of arrows was a bit overwhelming and then I saw everything explained properly step by step. Very good!
One of best lessons! Easy to understand.
I was about to throw my hands up and at finding a place to start learning. And then I found your videos. Thank you Good sir! You are most appreciated.
Thank you, this made more sense than 3 hours of previous instruction.
Fairly easy to grasp, Thank you !!! Fourth video of this kind I have watched. I Revisit often
Great example of a tutorial video, clear friendly tone, good visual aids and it gets across the message really well. My wife felt this was by far the best sailing tutorial she has seen and has helped her understand the basics which she previously struggled with
finally a “beginner” sailing vid that i get. thank you🙏🏽
I have been on many boats but I've never sailed before, but will be soon when a friend takes me out on his boat. I was looking for a little bit of info to start off with and stumbled across this video. Very clear and easy to understand. Can't wait to get out on the water now!!
Great sailing tutorial, nice voice and perfect explanation and pictures. Thank you!
This is the best 2 min video on beginning sailing I've seen. I know it's longer, but that's how long it took his voice to lull me to sleep. I play this for my kids now. Works every time.
Glad it helps, perhaps you should consider a job in comedy.
Excellent! Nice voice (and pace) to listen too, thanks
Wonderful video. Rey well done. The best I’ve yet seen for a Beginner 101
Very apt delivery! Some video on TH-cam are more difficult to comprehend than the topic they're explaining
I haven't got on the water yet.I found this most helpful.Other books and videos I've seen can't illustrate the wind because it's invisible.This video shows it as clear as can be.I learned a lot from this.
Wonderfully comfortable voice beautifully explaining the basics of sailing believes the trepidation I suffered every time I set sail. But then I did self teach at over 60 years old in a congested little harbour.
This is the easiest video to understand of all the videos I've watched so far. The illustrations are very helpful. Thank you!
So simply explained with lovely lack of self importance
That was what I’ve been searching for for months. Straight concise commentary that makes total sense. Legend 👌🏽
The best demo of sailing principles I have ever seen. Thanks for posting this video.
Great explanation! Leave it to the British to teach sailing in a simple, proper and quick way!
If it was a Yank teaching this, it would be 99% bullshit.
A'least we maidit to the Americas m8
I enjoyed NO loud music also . Clearly explained. Thank you
Yours is my first video on sailing ....thank you so clearly explained.
I am thinking of taking up sailing as a hobby and I was looking for a basic understanding. I found your video informative and educational. But then I realized I sailed Yeadon Pond about 60 years ago with my toy sail boat. I guess it's the circle of life ?
What a excellent informative lesson, much obliged for sharing
The animation tools being used here are brilliant.
I learned by going out on a sloop one night a thousand years ago. Then I bought a sloop--and learned the finer points simply by sailing it ('tweren't no internet). 25 years later, I'm just refreshing and maybe learning things I never knew. Sailors are rare this far inland. Oh wow, now I know that I need to go sail triangular courses!
@@gregorywebster9903 Did you get the boat? Never too late to learn things. I sail a dinghy and having a blast. Too much fun.
Best Sailing video on TH-cam for neophytes like me.
Geat video for a novice sailor like me, very informative. Thank you.
Really well done! Thanks for this!
Seriously best and clearest explanation I've seen. Took me 2 weeks plus getting the boom across my neck to understand half of this when I first started.
Thank you!! I've never sailed in my life, but am about to, this really rings the bells when it comes to theoretical understanding of this. Thank you!!!
I was just curious about sailing although I'm disabled and never plan on actually doint it but, I have to say, this video has to be the most easily understood of all the one's I've watched. Good Job.
Well done, in 10 minutes you cleared up what a full learn to sail book confused! I had some of it, but not as well integrated or a whole single picture like you just showed. The movable boat graphic really helped me see it, and gybe vs tack - never had it shown so well. I somehow never got that it was which part of the boat ( bow vs stern ) moved past the wind, not left / right. I would just move the sail never knowing which term to use! I called everything a tack if the boom was moving sides!
It's already been said over and over...But... This video is simply the best, very Nub friendly...thank you for making it
Excellent video to get a clear understanding of the basics
Straight forward and makes perfect use of the graphics. Excellent
I have yet to see these concepts better explained. A big thank you.
This video is really fantastic, easy to understand, well done and thank you !
New dinghy sailor here and I have been out once. This video was so helpful and easy to understand. It’s the best I have seen so far. Thanks so much! I can’t wait to go out again!
Wow, I feel ready to sail after this...thanks, awesome vid.
Super clear and concise video!! Excellent stuff!
Excellent video. Well explained too
best video i have seen ...watched some a hour long and was no better at knowing how to set main now in a few minutes it all clicks in place ...thank you very much.
Thank you very much...you are the best teacher for me on this topic♥️🌹🌻🌷❤️
Absolutely excellent presentation and content.
Another fantastic instructional video
Beautifully done and very understandable. And I’ll admit, the rather soothing voice helps as well :)
Thank you for taking the time to make this very comprehensible and illustrative tutorial. Much appreciated!
apparently, others were just pretending to know what this video covered in 10 mins.
it was simple curiosity, how did ships sailed back then and YT is full of so much bullcrap about this.
thanks for the video.
Very nicely done! Also, the narrator’s voice is very calming. Thank you for this video.
Thank you, Thank you. Best You Tube intro to Sailing so far.
Brilliant. At last I've grasped the concept. This explains it perfectly. Many thanks.
Brilliant. Thanks so much for putting this out here!
Wonderful presentation !
many thanks !!
Thanks, worked in a marina for 5 years and no one was able to explain me this.
Excellent video with clear, thorough explanation at a good pace
Best sailing explanation video I've seen. Very clear and straight forward. Thank you!
Love the program you're using. Excellent and very well explained . Thank you.
Brilliantly explained. Thank you!
Agree with the previous comment, this has to be the best starting video for sailing I've ever seen. I only wish I'd started with this one ;-)
Thank you.
Brilliantly put together. Thank you.
I simply enjoy and read a lot of age-of-sail books (Aubrey and the like), but the sailing language for the unaware can of course be obtuse, even when inferred.
this video is really fantastic as a strong and clear visual explanation -- one of the best and most poignant I've been able to find. thank you for this, and hopefully I'll find more as I continue along

Hu
poignant? lol
this course is really cool and clear !
Thank you for the class.
Excellent - to the point. Thank you.
Very nice, well done! Best summary I have seen! Thanks for sharing.
Well..well..well..I finally learned something from a sailing technical video! THANK YOU! I've been trying to discover the difference between tacking and Gybe and here it is. Makes perfect sense! Thanks again!!! This will help me ACE my sailing class. Ü
Great video. Very clear diagrams and explanations. I will be referring to this a lot!
Really helpful for a complete beginner like myself! Thanks for posting this.
Brilliant simple explanation. Thanks
Thanks for the compliment.
Great video, best explanation I've watched
yeadonsailingclub excellent explanation! From the class to the water and back to the class. Well done
Wish you were in the states I'd gladly pay you for sailings lessons
I just bought a 27' Ericson. Thank you for the video.
This is an excellent video, so easy to understand. Thank you!
Down to earth and understandable many thanks
BRILLIANT AND SO SIMPLE !!! THX A LOT
Been thinking about learning to sail. Most of the online information so far almost had me not bothering. Simple no nonsense explanation which made complete sense. Thankyou so much for doing this, has really given me a bit of confidence to move forward, really great, can't thankyou enough.
excellent video! I understood your instructions.
Very well put together, thanks for putting the effort in.
Thanks for the video. Especially the graphics. I bought the Dummies Guide to Sailing book and it was horrible. You did an excellent job.
Great stuff - good summary. Many thanks for the review :) Best video I've found on the topic!
awesome, i believe i truly understand the basics, thank you sir...
Great lesson, Thanks! Well explained.
Well explained.
Many thanks.
Pete
Thank you! This is very best video for beginners.
Very good video. I didn't know how Gybe was spelt. I would like to sggest showing the triangle made by the 123 buoys and then show a circle around the bouys and then show the need to tack.
Excellent instruction.
Great video! I learned a lot. Thanx!
Thanks, It was clear and easy to memorize.
fantastic guide
Loved it, thanks!
That was a great explanation. Thank you
Thank you! This actually made sense!
I like it. Well done!
