I purchased a sailboat two years ago and thanks to your videos I was able to rig and sail successfully. This new video is a must for any new sailer. Thankyou.
I have to say this is one of the best videos presented to learn from. I've been wanting to learn to sail for so long and have reviewed many many videos and finally I've found one that explains things in exactly the way I like to learn. Thanks so much!
I bought my little 20ft Coronet sail boat two years ago and I am embarrassed to say that I still haven't got out on the water with her. I did a sailing course a year ago which was great, but I have forgotten a lot, if not most of it. I am determined to have a crack at raising the mast and to set up all the rigging. It is a real birds nest on deck from the previous owner, but thanks to your videos, this one especially, it makes a whole lot more sense, and like other comments, a much less scary prospect. I will have your video on hand to refer to when this complete and utter 48 year old sailing novice attempts to rig up his boat for the very first time. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into making such simplistic, easy to follow, and well narrated sailing tutorial videos. Well done and keep up the great work. Cheers, Mike
Hi Mike, thanks so much for your awesome comments, so good to hear. We look forward to hearing of your progress with your bird's nest 😂😂 and getting out on the water as soon as you can... You can do eeeet....
Just subbed. Must say thanks for this. As a liveaboard sailor 20 years ago and now a sailboat owner again the two previous videos about trim has been a nice refresher course. Nicely edited, succinct and to the point. So refreshing to have point by point easily explained rather that listen endlessly to sailors who love the sound of their own voice.
I'm getting my first boat and although I understand things at the most basic fundamental level these instructional videos have completely taken away all the scary sense of the unknown I was having. Thanks!
been using these vids to get some basic knowledge, and using VR regatta (VR game about sailing) and eSail to get some idea about points of sail and procedures. I'm not saying that its a good replacement for actual hands on experience but it feels like it's a good start to get some idea about the procedures and to build some theoretical knowledge. just as a way to not be completely useless when you finally set your first step on a boat to act as crew :p If I remember it, I'll update this to see how much these guides (and the games) helped out to kickstart the sailing career :p
Great tutorial! Thank you. Also, please consider linking the old version as well. I used it to locate this video, and will say that I actually prefer the older graphics even if the sound is a bit less bold! Cheers!
I was under the impression the topping lift is only really in use when the sail is down, to prevent the boom from dropping into the cockpit. And that once the sail is hoisted the sail essentially holds the boom up, no? Would be nice if you also spent a moment on the outhaul, that was one of those lines that I always forgot about.
Hi, and thanks for your comments. While you are correct, let me give you an example. If you are sailing full sails and need to reef down... If you have tension on the leech of the sail, it's not going to slide down the mast track with all that tension. Same with hoisting, so it makes things a lot easier to lift the boom during sail changes. The outhaul is often forgotten, but gets important for sail trim... Hope this helps, thanks for watching
Me and a couple of friends have joined a RYA course for Sailing this October. While we received a couple pdfs explaining basic parts of a ship and basic sailing, I must say that your videos are far better! Very easy to understand and well structured. May I ask what is the app you're using for the animations? I've read a comment below and your reply to it and I'm guessing it's eSail. Thank you so much and keep it up!
Hi and thank you for great comments. Hoping your RYA courses are fun and educational, first steps, well done. The animations are put together using free, open-source software called Blender 3D... eSail is an online sailing simulation which is also a great tool for practise and knowledge-building
Hello, i am making a simple animation of boat. With the purpose that this animation can give me best shape of a lower part of a boat in water and that boat has good aerodinamic. So i can make it in real life. Do you have any recomendation about how do i get to this shape without using programming. I am on a schedule, so i would be very happy for answers. Thank you very much!
Hi, and thanks for watching. I would say the best way to achieve this is to look at something called navalapp... Yes, you will have to pay, but it might be what you are looking for

aw man, you have no idea how much this means to us, thank you thank you thank you.... fair winds and safe sailing
All of your videos are excellent. I wish you owned TH-cam. Your production value is amazing.
😂😂 if I owned TH-cam, I would building a catamaran somewhere in Vietnam..😂😂

so kind of you to post such great comments, thank you very much
The first one was great, this one is excellent. So clear and easy to understand.
💪💪 yeah!!! thanks

What a great video , clear and educational, keep them coming.
thanks fo rwatching and adding great value through your comments
so clear. I would love a video on how to rubbing rig a Genoa if that ever needs doing please make a video on it!
if you mean running rigging, check #2, or wait till I finish the sail trim video ... thanks for watching and adding such amazing feedback
Always great videos and content. Thank you!
thanks so much for your input, always appreciated
Great tutorial! Thank you. Also, please consider linking the old version as well. I used it to locate this video, and will say that I actually prefer the older graphics even if the sound is a bit less bold! Cheers!

Hi guys, I like your animation videos. I have an idea for 3 boatswhich requires some 3d work, can you help? Kind regards Warren
Hi Warren, thanks so much for your great comments, let us know what you have in mind and we can have a look at it. Look forward to hearing from you
