After three years of sailing classes, and sailing, this is by far the simplest and best explanation of rigging I've ever seen. Looking forward to exploring your other presentations. Thanks!

The best 3 videos on youtube that explain modern rigging.

Never sailed on a yacht and I get seasick in light conditions. But since the Corona lockdowns started I do nothing but look at yachting channels on YouTube and dream about single handling the Atlantic. Starting to learn how my imaginary boat works thank to this channel.

I worked in 3D Animation for several years. The amount of work involved in even such basic animation is quite intensive. Combined with a well scripted instruction these videos are invaluable to sailors and want-to-be sailors. THANK YOU for providing this. It would take years, BUT, have you thought of creating an interactive instructional game where student/players would create their boats, rig them, outfit them with various technology, (also register them in a tax free haven 😜), then be able to sail them globally in every weather condition imaginable? If this already exists, please someone tell me.

This is by far the best tutorial on sailboat rigging I have seen. Simple, yet masterful. Very well done! You’ve done a great service to the sailing community.

Instead of reading book pages and pages of books, wach this interactive guide. It explains all fundamentals in short and understandble way. Thank you.

Absolutely the best 3 rigging tutorials for a beginner. So clear and concise! Thank you so much!

[benofbens]

I can't even begin to explain how perfect this was for me a complete beginner. Thank you so much for making this!

[wallytuescher]

You should redo this video. Good info but very difficult to understand due to poor sound.

[stevejohnsonm.a.]

Wow. As an entry-level sailor, I really appreciate both the great technology and detailed explanation. I can't wait to find more videos from you guys!

[gewa]

Excellent. You're an outstanding instructor. No rambling, no irritating music, no ego...just exceptionally clear and concise visuals and explanations. I've subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. (I also found your website very interesting and informative.)

[johnsonbar]

This is by far ... the BEST intro to sailing that we've found. Thank you. We plan on looking at a Hunter 50 CC soon, for cruising and live aboard. and this production and narratuion is IT ! We've watched your instruction videos over and oave.
they're good... VERY good.

Just returned from my first sailing trip in the Ionian sea. We had an experienced skipper but a clueless crew! I spent all week pulling ropes with only the vaguest idea what they all did, I wish I'd seen this before I went. This is a brilliant, clear and concise explanation. Thank you!

[jasonlangan]

Thank you for the time spent on your videos. As a guy just starting out your videos are perfect. The animations make it very easy to understand. Great job.

[Mesozoic_mammal]

Thanks for the great introduction, not only the terminology (which is quite handy for someone who only knows the terms in his native languge) but also the valuable details!

[abbasabdul]

Wow. This is the clearest and easiest to understand explanation of rigging i have ever seen. Thanks!

[josephlai]

Your animation is outstandingly instructional. I should think this qualify a gold standard for any sailing schools for online teaching. Thank you so much.

[TrailstoSails]

Excellent ! I took ASA 101-103 lessons and then watched these videos. Really Helpful to tie it all together. Appreciate the videos!

[CanadianMapleleaf]

Best instructional video I have ever seen. Keeps you interested, easy to follow and so well laid out...great job and thank you.

I am an avid viewer of sailing videos. Never sailed, myself, but it certainly looks exciting from my chair in front of my computer screen. This video is so educational and informative. Now I have a better understanding of what the crew must do for just a simple sail. thanks for explaining this to us.
