At least I am not like the backstabbers that give you bad rep anonymously. I will tell you your videos suck right to your face. They are the result of the bloated ego of a herring eater whose knowledge of sailing is only exceeded by his knowledge of sheep. Then you come on here all whiny cause a few enlightened souls can see through all the bluster and have realized that someone who only places THIRD in his teeny weeny country's races has NO BUSINESS making videos on how to sail. They want REAL sailors like me to make the videos but unfortunately my moderating duties don't leave me enough free time. YOU, on the other hand, come to my country and suck our resources dry...leaving a trail of broken power plants in your dust and sending AMERICAN dollars back home to that poor excuse of a family you have. And you think you have REPAID your debt to AMERICA with those rotten videos??? NOT by a long shot MISTER!! You will continue to produce those videos until you get them RIGHT...and I will be the judge of THAT!!
Now get back to work you lazy bastardo!!

Cam,

You should not have sugar coated your comments so much.

I got a lot of bad reps linked to them...so I am kinda thinking this was the last one.

I don't know....I made the effort of making them, and some idiots gave me crap for them...

I am going to spend my free time in the malls and shopping instead of making more.

I don't know....
Cheers mate.

btw - cousin of yours popped in to say g'day over New Year or was it just you travelling incognito ?

Giu,

Since you are out enjoying the fine weather and sailing, and keep bragging about how great it is to be out there, I thought I'd make a request. I know this is way more advanced than any of your videos so far, but I cannot find a good video on the internet showing the proper way to gybe an asymmetrical race spinnaker on a pole. Specifically an inside and outside gybe. This is a really hard concept for people to get without showing them and I know it'd help me show crew how to do it right if I could show them a video. And if you get really bored show how to gybe a symmetrical as well since we still have two that we haven't blown out yet and still use on occasion.

So there! Now you have a job no excuses as to why you are out sailing around with no goals. It will give some small satisfaction to my frozen ass knowing you are "working". Thanks for the videos so far they are great keep it up!

I know I'm late but I just watched these and they're excellent. Gui, great job, package these up, add a few and make some money on a DVD.

Thank you for the nice explanations. I started sailing last fall, and am taking a sailing course right now. These videos will help.
