I’ve flight instructed for years in the military and commercially - you are an OUTSTANDING Instructor!

Clean, clear, logical, organized and no annoying background music competing with you. Thank you!

Man; this channel is simply the best that teaches (or reminds) what to do and how to do @ all about the sailing... Thanks a lot 4 each & every video...

In Heavy wind or wind more than 15 knots ,the furling line should be released with one or two circles on the winch ,otherwise all the sail will open with much speed and this could also make damage or the boat would be uncontrolled . This is also helpful when you want to open half of the sail .

Thank you bro ⛵

Love your videos. Just the right amount of info on each topic. Clearly presented and explained. Do you have one on reefing and heaving to?

Thanks Daniel! We don't have one on reefing or heaving to yet, but have more videos in the works, and those would be great topics to cover! We will see if we can film those this fall :)

Great instructive videos.. thanks for your contributions!

Welcome aboard! Let us know if you have any questions.

Great info, tips and presentation. Thank you so much.

Thanks - great video. Helps a lot!! My unfurling is difficult and not working. I have to turn manually. But to furl back works fine. What could be wrong?

I trim genoa first, then main sail for sailing out of harbour

Great video! Where was it filmed btw? :) The bay is beautiful!

Furling a storm sail

Hello! At 0:58 you mention furling AND reefing a Genoa. I thought you cannot reef a Genoa, only the mainsail. Are you just using the term reefing loosely to mean reducing the sail area? Cheers

Hey Michal... Yes, we are using the term "reefing" in regards to the Genoa to mean reducing the sail area by furling some in.

Hello quick question why is the lazy jib sheet on a winch if it is not doing anything? the loaded and lazy part confuses me

@NautilusSailing

Жыл бұрын

Hey Stefanos. Well spotted! It doesn't have to be on the winch as you point out. We often leave the lazy sheet on the winch, so that that as the jib furls a little tension is created and both jib sheets coil up nicely on the headsail.

Just happened upon your video. As an RYA instructor it is refreshing to see a You Tuber who categorically states NOT to use the winch when furling away and why. By Christ if I had a £ for every student on a course who challenge me on this issue stating the instructors worst words “But I’ve see it on You Tube SV _____________” 😡😡

Yup. Hanks will always work. No overrides and broken furling line allowing full sail to unfurl and shred your sail.

All great. But what if you are single handed .?

@NautilusSailing

Hey Jason... Good question. All the same methodology and steps, you just have to figure out ways to do everything on your own. Autopilot can be a HUGE help, as it will keep the boat steering in one direction, while you can then focus on managing just the lines. We are thinking that at some point we'd love to make some videos showing how to do some of these things single handing!

@@NautilusSailing yep. I sailed a lot before all this gear was available. I now have a 35' I'm sailing by myself. Old school. Halyards on the mast. Hank on head sails. So you can imagine I need to modernize. When it starts to blow i realize I'm too old for the stress of trying to stay on course, and run the deck to manage sails. Lol. Thanks for the reply.

@@jasonfrodoman1316 Hey Jason... That's fantastic that you solo sail your 35 footer! Yeah, running your halyard back to the cockpit and getting a roller furler with a furling line that is accessible from the cockpit would definitely simplify things for you... Best of luck!

Furlers are for guys that never leave the bay. Furlers are the #2 most common broken item I fix on boats.

Everything on a boat can break ;) Furlers are usually very reliable if you know what you are doing and follow the basics. 98% of all sailboats cruising around the world have furlers. It is far safer to have a furler than have to go up on the bow to change sails in challenging conditions, and allows for much easier sail control.
