Great to hear it! I have a follow-up to this video coming out very soon

Nice video -- I "know" almost all of it just through trial-and-error by now, but, as always, one or two new things come up! The tip about putting your back thumb on the rear harness line to more easily unhook is one I might have to try. Sometimes, hooking in and unhooking is not easy, especially when I set my boom chin height or higher. The thumb on the harness line trick could be really helpful for some of those fall-in-backwards incidents when the sail comes on top of you and you are underwater...will have to see. Being able to move the harness lines is so nice. I only figured out that you can keep them very loose and they stay put when they need to just recently.

if you think you know it all.. you learn always new stuf 😎 thx Cookie as always great content!

Glad it was helpful! There is a new video coming out soon that will take this introductory guide to the next step, more power, and more speed using the harness

Great vid as always. I’m just getting back into windsurfing after an almost 20 year break and your guides help me a lot. I will go right ahead and loosen my harness lines, I agitate found it impossible to adjust them while riding. In the beginning when you say your height: 5 foot 8 would be 173cm, not 180. I guess the 180 cm are correct for you, given that you say your weight in kg and not the made up fairy tale units ;)

I just checked, today I weigh 79 kg and measure in at 175 cm! Hope that, and the video, are helpful to you! I have a follow-up to this video taking the harness skills up a notch coming out soon!

Just what I needed, thanks - II🙏

Excellent video, thanks Cookie! Always more to learn!

I haven't sailed for a while. Off injured as usual..but I think when I'm really overpowered I use my front hand really close to the mast and push against the boom to avoid the sail from taking over?? smashing back into me? It's been a while since I've done it but that's what I remember. I know that's in 'extreme" conditions but that seems to be the opposite of what you're saying?

@Cookiesports

5 күн бұрын

Definitely sounds like the opposite of what I’m saying! Putting your front hand close to the mast is a good way of losing power, but then if you push that hand it will power you back up again! Your two moves described here sound like they are cancelling of each other out!!

nice smal tings to implement in my sailing. Do you have anything on how to close the sail properly when i want to go realy fast? when is it fully closed? paralell? and when the wind goes down in the middel of a run on strong wind. how to get back up without steering to much upwind

I'll have to make note of what I do next time it happens.

New harness video coming very soon that'll take this even further!

I keep in mind things you've said about the harness lines in previous videos of yours as well. So very helpful as always! One thing I'm having trouble with is my harness keeps sliding up and turns into a bra! It must mean I sit a lot on the harness lines instead of pulling, right?

@Cookiesports

Exactly right! If the harness is riding up, then you are not pulling perpendicular to the boom, but instead sitting down. I have a follow-up to this video coming soon that might be helpful to

thanks for your great video ! 32 inches is the total harness loop lenght, or one side?

@Cookiesports

The harness lines are measured from doom to boom, so the full length of the loop

Thanks again Cookie, Unfortunately i was not able to keep a straight face when you said a centimeter can make all the difference in the world

It only works as a very rough guide between around 4.5 to 6.5 sales. However, the summary is always it is a very rough guide!… i’m still with the general thought that most people have their harness lines too far forward. Today I was on a 6 m sale, I had my harness lines 7.5 hands back from the mast!
