When you're uprighting the boat after it has capsized, it's easier if the person inside the boat already has the tiller in hand. 12:57 12:30 To prevent this, you can press the boom into the water with your foot. This keeps the sail in the water for a longer time, giving you more time to regain control of the boat. Another option is to wait until the boat turns into the wind, but in a race, that means losing time/distance. I'm not sure if I used the correct English sailing terms :/ English is not my native language. You can really notice a difference from the last video. Keep it up! 😀
That does makes sense. In future we will make a checklist plan of what to do if the boat capsizes, it's definitely much more professional than not being able to steer the boat for 5-10 seconds after righting the boat! Thanks
Looks good! The 29er is pretty tricky initially but once you get the hang of it you have an excellent set of skills to sail pretty much everything else, keep chipping away!
It’s a little tricky to tell from the video but at say 8:05 onwards you’d want the crew doing the mainsheet, keeping the boat dead flat or slightly heeled to windward. I used to try and keep the distance from the end of the boom to the top mainsheet bridle block under like 6 inches, otherwise I was sailing too low or overpowered. From memory the centreboard is a bit too long to make it easier to right, so we used to pull it up like a 20cm to stop it tripping over itself. Im pretty sure the forestay tension on the loos gauge was 18 in light air, 21 in medium air or 24 in heavy air, although that was 14 years ago and I wasn’t the best in 29ers! There is an old DVD around called higher and faster that helped me a lot if you can find a copy.
@@walowesk7122hard to tell if there's something wrong with rig/sheeting angles from a video.. I think the crew really needs to take the mainsheet and someone needs to be communicating puffs/lulls upwind and downwind. At present it looks like everything catches you off guard which is a really painful way to go sailing on a skiff
@@TomStuchberySailing-eg9vr Will have to take a look at those videos, I've seen them online but not given them a proper watch. I'll use that advice next time I'm on the 29er, most likely will be the Feva for a bit as we're training for champs. Ta!
There is so much going on here. Very interesting. I understand it's all baby steps, but how do you ever go about learning how to sail something this complex?
With difficulty generally. I went from a one sail boat to the fireball and finally to the 29er. It took me about 5 years from me learning to sail. Starting in lighter wind always is easier and building it up that way. Are you planning on getting a 29er? or high performance boat?
@@walowesk7122 currently sailing a small hobie bravo with my 10 year old. He is showing a lot of interest in sailing, and being a pilot, so am I. I wouldn't mind finding something which requires 2 crew, and getting out with the kiddo.
@@taylorrmark I think Your starting to know what the other is thinking: or at least that's what I think keep it up and 100 push ups a day when not sailing. Loving the videos as all ways. 🙂
@@walowesk7122 it is the British youth sailing coaches where you go to different places around uk training with the British sailing team coaches it is really good
enjoy the machine.... u didnt choose a simple snipe..... u will improve.... keep enyoing despite being last and u will be ok...... one thing, try to hide a little more ur disappointment about her fails.... u both u will be ok... gg

I love the 2 person skiff team dynamic

Any ideas why we are slow upwind? Is there something you see wrong with the rig or is it likely just our technique?

wow im so proud of you :), keep up the amazing work!!
Nice one
You are doing great - and surprisingly little swearing :) This reminds me of my first few times out on a musto skiff - lots of swimming lessons ... :(
Oh no, I call it tactical editing. There was plenty swearing. Musto's look cool, but I think I'd end up talking to myself...

I don't know much about sailing. But to me it looks like Your developing into a good team. Keep up the good work lads + the 😮videos. Be well.😊
Still alot more learning to do, all of us!
I'm glad you enjoy the videos. We're definitely making great progress but still plenty of swimming to come...

@@walowesk7122 how much more sail area has the 29er compared with the Fireball do You Know? ( including spinaker).🙂
100 Every day. Deal.
If you guys changed to 29er I hope you gonna come to Kiel sailing week. ;)
Unfortunately not, we are going to the Feva worlds in Holland during the summer though. So not much money left over for other events :(
Upwind the crew normally trims the main and the Helm trims the jib but I guess you have done 29er RTG
29er RTG?

@@walowesk7122 Regional Training Groups........... i guess not... but its other way, buy and sail... gg
but.... if u buy a tank and no one trains u how to use it... will be harder to learm how to do it properly....
No I haven't, recently we've been getting a lot better. Our rig tune is a lot better and now it's all coming together
enjoy the machine.... u didnt choose a simple snipe..... u will improve.... keep enyoing despite being last and u will be ok...... one thing, try to hide a little more ur disappointment about her fails.... u both u will be ok... gg
I'm never disappointed with my crew, my sighs that sound like disappointment are in fact sighs of relief! Not to be mistaken...
