That's my idea.

First deal with all the different items on their own, then all together and how to reim, using the tell tales etc. but need a few more before I go inot that.

Then will do the same with the genoa , until we have almost all covered.

I will make one for the "fear of healing", but need time.

I spent a whole flight puting this together, and flying has been the videos best friend...many hours on planes...so I make my videos, since I already saw what they show in the planes..

These videos simple, concise and to the point. In the Spring, my neighbors will think some one else is sailing my boat! For instance, I never knew that what a telling effect the outhaul has on sail shape. I alway thought just adjusting the backstay was all you need. I've never used the cunningham and now it's off to the chandlery to buy hardware. Steering with the main even looked easy in the video. Please keep the information coming!
Thanks!

Alex,
Great piece of work, cap'n. Your English doesn't need to be corrected anywhere that I could see, other than an upper-case "N" in Normal on one of your text graphics. How's that for being a nit-picking piece of **** school marm? Again, it was really well done. I'm truly impressed...

Guil...

I watched the first one. It's good stuff, well explained.

I have never tried it. I will try it next time on my beloved Loch Ness.

I watched the others too.

My olde ship is not a fractional rig, but that was a good one too.

I liked the outhaul explanation. On my olde ship, it stays in the same position all the time... fully back. I don't have the advantage of it being winch driven, though i could fit a wee winch on the mast.

Good stuf there Guil.
