My wife is always saying I'm a sick puppy. And if you really want to know-----

Hey Giu, wasn't someone going to make us cookies? Did you get any yet?
I didn't.

Well, moving back to the topic. I loved the videos and found them very instructive. I will review them a few times to fix the concepts in my mind.
And I'm looking forward for new issues.
Muito obrigado!

The one only thing that I think could be improved. It's a technical filming piece of advise (I learned from my wife who is a movie director). There is something called "crossing the axel" which you have to avoid in a movie. When you are filming a dialog between two persons one has to look to the left and the other to the right. You can change the location of the camera, but you have to keep one character looking to the right and the other one looking to the left. Otherwise, you "cross the axel " and get the spectator confused for a fraction of a second because he doesn't know who the character is talking to. I mention this because I recall a sequence of drawings in which a drawing showed a sail with the luff to the left, and the following drawing showed the luff to the right. Not big deal, but when you see the second drawing it has you confused for a fraction of a second (specially if you are focusing in trying to memorise and fix lots of new concepts. As I said, no big deal... but "for the same price" you can do the drawings without "crosing the axel".
(btw: the drawings are great, and the succecssion of drawings and footage, too).
Muito obrigado!

G- You're doing a GREAT job with these sailing videos. I think they will be a huge benifit to sailing and sailors for quite some time.

Great video, Giu...I find the diagram followed by video format to be very helpful and easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to do this--one more thing that seems it will be simple to learn and fun to practice!
