Sailing Theory For Beginners

An introduction to sailing theory.

I’m making a simulation game where you can create a sailboat and sail around the North Sea, and this has been really helpful for giving me a better understanding of what I’m working on and what I need to simulate. Thank you!

This is by far the best explanatory video that I have watched over the years. You, sir, have a skill for teaching. ✌️👍

So many watched videos trying to get basic trimming knowledge. This is the first one to explain it as I needed. Thank you!!!!

I haven’t sailed in 5-6 years. This was a great quick refresher. The presenter is an excellent communicator. Nicely done.

I'm just getting into the sailing community and learning and this was the best instruction I have heard! Wonderful job! Please make more videos!

[kottybeats]

Great video
Best explanaition on this topic on youtube right now

Thank you for this! I have no boat and there is not one on my horizon. Of late I have been watching the many people who sail while making YT clips about their travels. It's a fascinating world out there!! They all speak the language of sailing and now thanks to you - I have some insight of what they are up against. Thank you so much!

OMG thanks a million. The instructions were crystal clear - amazing teaching skills. I read the book and saw other videos, but this video simplified the concept and made it clear.

Thank you, very well explained. To have an educator that recognises people have different ways of learning right from the off is great.
I was lucky enough to participate in a tall ships race many years ago. The rudiments of sailing were explained, but it was mostly necessary to just pull on lots of ropes until told to stop. Fortunately there were people who knew what they were doing there too!
The similarity between a sail and an aircraft wing was something I only heard mentioned quite recently when watching a documentary on some crazy looking computerized hydrofoil racing boats which had solid sails. If only I'd heard it sooner, it would have made what was going on much less of a mystery.
I also understand why we happened to do really well a little better, and why the crews of the sleek racing yachts that only just beat our ketch to the Canaries were cursing because they couldn't get the most out of them having spinnakers!

My man, this was incredibly detailed and eloquent! GREAT JOB with this explanation!
I just went with a buddy of mine for the first time on his boat and this helped me a lot to understand the physics involved.
Keep them coming ✌🏼

I have been sailing for many years and have been asked many time to explain why I do things. Your teaching has given me the examples in how to clearly explain what and why I do things.

[ovancic]

Excellent video. This is what I've been looking for.
Thank you very much.

[JamieSmith-fzmz]

One of the clearest explanations of a complex topic. Wish we could delete a lot of the other videos on YouTube that talk gibberish.

[Tambie]

Wow thank you so much. I bought that Marineverse on Quest 2, but this has been the best tutorial without me pulling my hair. Tutorials in the game makes you wanna smash the headset

[Nanginator]

This is a great video for a newbie like myself. You are a great teacher, and I look forward to watching your other videos. ⛵

[kalyxhighgrade]

been hooked on everything sailing except real instruction because everything i've come across thus far hasn't resonated well, but you sir nailed it and i know i can learn to sail now. i hope i get someone like this on the water next spring. great work thank you

[ppepke]

FINALLY !!!! Im an aircraft mechanic AP-IA. This my freinds is the BEST INST VIDEO EVER for explaning sailing. Wind, Hydro, Aerodynics, THIS GUY HAS IT ALL. I PROMISE. THANKS SIR.

[zonierz]

Super helpful. I’ve been at a sailing camp for a week, and only now I understand how it actually works. Thank you.

[giovedemedici]

I don't sail, I would love for myself and my daughter to learn and I love watching your videos, you are very good at what you do. I hope you're going to upload more soon

[MonoJaviX]

VERY good explanation, thank you for sharing!
