Oh my god. I could watch these all night long. I actually started laughing because it sounds like you are wasting your time because you make it look so easy. You are pretty much the best sailing teacher ever. hope to meet you one day. If scarface taught a sailing class it would be identical to this

Except that scarface was a nice guy compared to the mad portagee... I understand that he still practices flogging and has a cat o' nine tails on his boat for use on unruly crew.

With the recovery of my stollen laptop, I got all my files, notes, photos and videos I shot for the video series I was making.

It's taking me longer now because some of the videos are now in a different format of Movie Maker..but I am getting the hang of it thanks to Chuckles and CKGreenman, please be patient.

Anyway, I will resume the videos where I left them.

This once conludes the various main sail features and trim..

The next series will be about the head sail...

Then in the end sail trim etc..

After that..the spinnaker.

I just need some time.

Anyway, Cam will put it together with the other ones in the Videos thread he made for them. HERE

Comments, are welcome, unless they are bad.. ..and do them here..

I will make sure I read them and adjust accordingly.

PS Thanks Val for the correction to my English (Traveller has two LLs in English of the Queen), and T for your comments.

Alex

Another gem Giu, thanks for putting in the time to make these.

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for putting these together. I'm still very much a "sailor in training," and I've been enjoying reviewing these videos and learning more as I go. I hope to have a boat of my own next season, and having the chance to see some of these techniques in practice will hopefully help me to put them to use on my boat. Thanks!
