Well done Peter. To the point, no fluff ...I really took some good information away. Regarding the centreboard. The NS14 has a dagger centreboard although the dingy I sail has a swing centreboard. Lifting the centreboard moves the pivot point AFT? Do you recommend lifting a swing centreboard to windward as the wind exceeds your optimum wind speed? I have not tried lifting the board to windward in a stiff breeze although will it make the boat want to round up...more lee helm.....or the opposite?
Great instruction. Abundantly clear. One question- how much translates to a larger boat? Would the trim techniques here work on a 25' full keel sailboat?
I know this is a year old question and you may already know the answer- but this is one thing about sailing that I love. The theory in practical terms is the same, though the technology and tools at your disposal may change. Some boats and some rig formats (masthead versus fractional for example, or centerboard / daggerboard / fin / wing / bulb full etc) are going to respond differently to different conditions and adjustments- but clean flow over the foil translates to speed... There are quite a few technical sail trim videos out there- dating back to the 80s with the North Sail videos that are excellent, to some newer ones from practicalboater as well as countless enthusiast videos that cover boats of all sizes... What you'll see is that the objective theory is all the same... with some very minor subjective deviations that really are up to you to determine based on your own circumstances. This is the fun part since it's these types of videos that can pump you up with the knowledge to go out and test things out while fully understanding what you want the end result to be and why.
Fantastic, and brilliantly simple explanations ......I am sure would help many ....
So clear...amazing instruction, thanks! i wish i was able to find this video on the beginning of the sailing season.
Beautifully explained
That piece of crap whiteboard would be a deal breaker for me, but this explanation is so clear I cannot look away.
Brilliantly clear. Cheers mate. Suggestion: a lapel microphone will make much clearer audio.
This series is fantastic. Well presented!
yes always my go to racing guide, but it was difficult to keep my First 310 upright in 15kts and the now Bavaria 37 is a buckett lol
Brilliantly applicable to many boats
The best ever.Bravo.
Awesome video!! Thank you!!

This is great.
Very good, still 😃
Hard to understand..eco sound
Looks ok. But really I can’t hear/understand him well and miss almost half of what he is trying to say.
great instructions. bad pronunciation.
