Thank you so much for sharing this to us! Yesterday I couldn't understand this concept, but now I do!

Happy Spring from DuSable Harbor, Chicago! Thanks for the tactics! Beneteau 36.7, Brawndo.

Very helpful, thanks!

great video man👍

Thank you. I was unaware of the extent of the backwind area or that it can provide a lift when sailing through on the opposite tack.

Thank you so much for doing this video theres no other video like this :)

Glad it was helpful!

Good information thanks.

Never heard of the backwind zone before "and the other things too" (JFK Ref;), I 'm learning a lot with you. Never been a racer, more of a blue waters sailor though. From The Glénan Sailing School , France, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

A well done video. Kudos. An old flight instructor after aerodynamics courses always said that if I can help you with this course to see the wind and recognize how alive it is then I’ve done my job.

Thanks! I like the flight instructor's comment.

very interesting

I had no idea that I would be affected by another boat if I was to windward of them! Really helpful, thanks

Is it save to sail in between the backwind and blanket zone? is there clear air?

on 13:00 isn't green on starboard instead of port?

That font is SO small. When listing boats say “yellow” or “blue” instead of coloring boats AND also numbering them then calling for the number. Way too hard to see and follow along. Thx.

Thanks Olivia. I'll keep this in mind for the next slide show. Sorry for the late response. I'm not getting notified when people make comments.

You mentioned a video? Do you have a link? Thanks

Larry. You can find the video and other related content in the post for this video on SailZing.com. Here's a link. sailzing.com/clear-air-upwind/

Sorry. Call them by colors or make the letters larger. Hoping this is helpful to you for next time. Can’t see letters

I can understand "rising air"ahead, but what evidence is there of "falling" air?

What techniques are available to you break persistant 'Close Cover' ? Had a situation where another competitor was continuously tacking on me and pushing us both down.
