Excellent video taking your viewers through all points of sail with a self tacking jib. This is quite the sailing lesson in one video, and your attention to details is key. I hope many who would like to sail but think it’s too difficult to learn watch this video. With proper instruction, sailing is not difficult. Seamanship is different, and comes over time with experience, but learning to to move the boat under sail is not complicated once the fundamentals are understood, which is what you have taught here. We’ll done Igor! A bit different from monohulls, but the principles are the same.

When the sailing students use the winches and turn the rope around:They can loose their fingers - wrong handling

Very good Igor. As a cat owner I prefer to use the throttles only in a marina or mooring with rudders central. More control and not unpredictable directions from driving with helm turned in another direction. BTW FP cats do have a connection for the bridge on the inside of the bow near the front and it works well. André in Sydney

The angle of the rope on the Antal winch is wrong, should be coming from below. same for other brand winches btw. as it is right now it can actually lock the rope, creating a dangerous situation. surprised with some of the setup, for instance, the winch handle can not be turned on the port winch without hitting the canvas.. And the furling line to the drum of the jib seems to be very thin and doing a detour over the boat, it s not practical. Like your way of teaching its clear and it helped me explain things to my team, thank you for that. The spaghetti is obviously a dangerous learning point, but it has to do with the setup made by the builder .

Nice video Igor I’m sure those guys learned a lot during this trip ! Really nice. We don’t have a bow spirt so we don’t use a code Zero or code D but us a asymmetrical spinnaker which we fly off one of the bows. We have wishard bow eyes on each bow. We can push up to 65 degrees before the luff starts folding and down to 150 degrees. Most of our sail across the Southern Atlantic Ocean was done with this sail. Sadly a mistake lead to the sail being up near Brazil and a squall destroyed the sail making the rest of our crossing across the top of South America very tough with a main and Genoa in light winds at 140+150 degrees. (We have ordered new asymmetrical and symmetrical sails from Australia.) . In terms of the water makers the pleated sails are to filter the saltwater and the carbon filter (particles) is for reverse flushing with possible chlorine particles not to damage your membrane.
