The greatest video on how to sail on KZread. Subscribed! Thank you sir!! I've been sailing a dozen or so times with a mad captain that's not the best at explaining things. I just do what I'm told and live in constant fear, but he mixes good rum & coke drinks for me. I don't know why he puts me up at foredeck I just end up grenading that area.

I guess because the head sail is easier to learn to handle, just keep the Sheet Ropes tidy and prepare before the tack...Jibes are easier as no heavy boom on the head sail unless you're using a Genoa or Spinerger pole jus dont get tangled in the sqil and wear a safety line in heavy weather to go onto the deck especially up front to the Bow or you may take a swim.

what gets me going about sailing is the peace and tranqility, combined with the absolute freedom of not relying on man made and corporately provided fuel to get where im going. and of course the thrill of being at the mercy of mother nature and her renowned unpredictable moods. becalmed one minute, squal with 30 knot winds the next. never a dull moment.

I have never been sailing and doubt if I will ever get a chance to do so. (I am 76). I often wondered how sail boats and ships can go in almost any direction regardless of the wind direction. After and while watching Vickings and The Last Kingdom, I just had to become more knowledgeable about sailing. I believe this is an excellent video on the basic of sailing. Thank you so much! Nando

I've literally never learnt so much in 25 minutes my whole life - Great beginners guide to some basics. Thank you.

When i started to feel a sudden real interest on sailing after watching some other cruising channels - around 9 months ago - this was the first instructional video i saw, first just out of curiosity, in order to have an idea of what i was getting into, and if it would be a feasible aspiration to someone with no experience like me. I was suprised on how simply you explained the whole theory, which i thought would be impossible to learn in adulthood, since most yachters grew with it since they were children. I was thrilled to discover through this video that i could easily learn it, and thus a crazy idea became an objective, thanks to watching this video. 9 months into it, i am now on my RYA skipper theory course, but also acquired a 28 foot sloop (Fellowship 28) this January, which became the healthiest decision of my life... so here’s what i have to say to you Josh: THANK YOU! I should have left this comment longer ago. Today, while sending this video to a friend as an essential tutorial (in her case refreshment), i realised that i should have written this already months ago. Just so you know the impact of this tutorial on my life - and probably many others!

A (hopefully) Easy to remember summary; Halyard = Any rope that lifts a sail (Main halyard = rope that lifts the main sail up the mast) Sheet = Any rope horizontally that pulls sails for trim (Main Sheet = Pulls the main sail in and out) Tack = The corner of a sail that connects to the boat Clew = The corner of the sail that connects to the sheet Head = The corner of the sail that connects to the halyard Stay = Ensures the mast "Stay(s)" up. Fore stay (front of boat) and Back stay (Guess)... Bow = Front of boat Stern = Back of boat Cockpit = The secure area with boat and sail controls Deck = The flat walking surfaces outside of the cockpit Beam = Side of boat (hence "wind abeam" is wind to the side of the boat) Hull = The boats floating structure Keel = Underwater vertical structure protruding from the hull. Can come in different shapes. Rudder = Underwater vertical surface used to turn the boat Block = Anything that turns a ropes direction Cleat = Secures a rope in position Port = Left Use phrase "There's no PORT LEFT in the bottle" also, Port (the fortified wine) is RED! Starboard = Right (The other side) ;-) Thanks for posting a clear and well made video on the subject!

Thanks for this post . I have yet to ever sail , but learning what I can , should I get on the water someday . Regarding Port and Starboard , I found it a lot easier , ( after trying to learn that Port was the left side ) that starboard was a lot easier to figureout/remember , as pronouncing " Starboard " the letter R is strong , and of course ...R is for Right ...so for me Port = Left ( the other side ) But I guess the point is ...what ever works Had I heard " There's no Port Left in the bottle " , that would have made things easier . I find myself adapting Port and Starboard terminology to my van in everyday driving .

Pretty good summary. A correction: they're lines when they have a specific purpose, not ropes (not sure why this guy keeps calling them ropes in the video). Referring to lines as ropes on a boat makes people sound like they don't know anything about boating. Another mnemonic: PORT = LEFT (four letters each).

The 3 corners have been mentioned above. But the 3 sides of a sail also have names. 1. The vertical stretched side (on main against the mast): "luff". 2. The loose side (on main diagonally): "leech". 3. Bottom side: "foot".

He simplifies the process very nicely, making it easier to understand and follow.

This is the first instruction video on sailing I’ve ever seen and have already memorized everything you said since your instruction was so clear and simple. I’ve got my eye on a 28ft right now. I’ve never been sailing but I’ve wanted to since I was a kid. Last year I got an inflatable boat with an outboard motor to putter around the coast. The best feeling in years! I’m determined to get out there sailing within the next six months. Planning on taking lessons in August for my boat license. Looking forward to watching all your video lessons!

This video has reignited the fire to learn to sail, get a boat, and head into the wind.

The basic mechanics of it seem within reach now to my little brain. Thanks for this great explanation. I find it endlessly fascinating that you can use this free fuel (wind) to travel the world.

Thank you so much Josh! You've really helped me understand how all this stuff works. You explain it so well. THANK YOU! Fair winds friend!

Sailing is easy. Docking is difficult..... Thanks for sharing! With all of that said, several companies offer inexpensive sailing classes, ASA (American Sailing Association) is the one I've used. As noted, there is much more to sailing than this video, such as rules of navigation, Coast Guard regulations, docking manuvers, and much more. I didn't find any of it difficult, but as I discovered when I took motorcycle lessones after 30 years of riding, just because you can move a boat or a bike doesn't mean there isn't a better or safer way to do it.

Fantastic. I’m heading out tomorrow morning for my first lesson on the water. It’s been a lot of theory and imagining so far, and this video helped put all the pieces in place. Also appreciate how you pointed out your mistakes - I’ll be watchful for the under steer and loose aft stay. Thank you!

Great video! Thank you for making this!

Awesome! I recently took sailing lessons, so I understood everything you were talking about. Though for someone who hasn't sailed before they might appreciate a small thing in the corner of the video showing where the boat is in relation to the wind.

Lately I've become very interested in sailing and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!

I learned to sail as an 11-year-old at summer camp in Wisconsin but never bought a boat nor took the helm of one since. Forty years later my passion was rekindled when I bought my neighbors Laser. Like riding a bike the basics were never forgotten. A few capsizes at first but not any more. It's a small, simple, one-man boat but so exciting to hear the dagger hum at speed on fast, windy days; to hook-up and hike-out, hanging on for dear life, hoping the sail won't shred and nothing breaks. On calmer days the kids like to hang their feet over the bow and ask me to capsize on purpose.

Super Nice video! HOWEVER: it stings in my heart to see you walk around alone WITHOUT a life jacket. Safety comes first and starts BEFORE you even leave the harbour and is THE most important thing to learn when you’re a beginner. Apart from this huge mistake: SUPER good explanation and super way of turning something relatively complicated into something relatively simple. Also good angle of recording.

You've made sailing approachable and dispelled some fears, and filled in a whole lot of blanks on the basics for me. Excellent video!

Thank you Josh. That was the best practical demonstration of sailing I have seen. So much more informative than any book. I am off on my competent crew course in a few weeks and just can't wait now

A lifetime of Joy Ahead who wouldn't want to really Live so many years to learn and experience I'm so READY

Thanks Josh, Much appreciated. Wonderful video.
