  Thanks Dan. I notice that no one really ooches. i personally have a tendency as i bear down by the lee to exit the turn by pressing my aft/tiller hand pretty far forward on the leeward rail, putting my weight into a powerful combined ooch and leeward flatten. no one else moves that aggressively though. does the effect of the roll outweigh any potential benefit to ooching and forward/aft kinetics?

• 
  @danselfsailing23 күн бұрын

  Hey Connor, thanks for the comment. I don't think the effect of the roll would outweigh the benefit to forward/aft kinetics. All of the top sailors will also be using a lot of forward/aft movement, but tend to be more subtle about it for Rule 42 reasons, and it becomes more necessary in bigger waves when it's really crucial to keep the bow out of the water/planing. In conditions like the ones in this video, you're rarely fully surfing, so the fore/aft movement will be more about maximising waterline length to kep the boat 'surging' in each wave for longer.

  Hey Coach Dan! Hopefully you’ll see this it’s been a while since you uploaded this video but I’ve been transitioning from a 4.7 to a radial recently and I always get overtaken on the downwind probably because Im letting the sail luff by sheeting out too quick. You were talking about how Pavlos Kontides takes the mainsheet from the boom and aligns the rate of his sheeting in/out with the rate of the boat turning. I was wondering if that rate was 1:1 sail sheet to boat turn or is that ratio something I’ll have to develop through practice?

  Thank you very much Dan for creating this great video! I have one question: For the reversing out, we need to back up at right diagonal angle. Just going backward is not difficult, but going back at right diagonal angle is challenging for me; When I push the tiller trying to go right, the bow just slips down and the boat just stops. Is there any tips for doing this? Thank you very much in advance.

• 
  @danselfsailing4 ай бұрын

  This typically happens if you try to steer too early when reversing - your boat will not have enough 'backward momentum' and generate too much leeway. You need to steer straight at first, gain some speed, and then you can start steering when sailing backwards.

  Any advice please on how to avoid capsizing in strong winds downwind? Especially on avoiding capsizing to windward?

• 
  @danselfsailing4 ай бұрын

  The key is to keep your boom/mainsheet in - the boom should not go past 90 degrees to the hull when going downwind in strong conditions. It's also important to avoid sailing directly downwind - this is when the boat will be most unstable. It's better to sail either on a very broad reach, or by-the-lee.

  A crabbing boat has to keep clear, but is it "illegal"?

• 
  @redfly4737Ай бұрын

  My understanding (inspired by one of Ian Elliott's videos): Yes it is very illegal. Propulsion is not allowed under rule 42. 42.3 (d) does not apply. It clearly states: "she may scull to turn to a closehauled course.". Since you are backing the sail, you are not turning to a closehauled course. Also, knowingly crabbing even though you know it's illegal violates the ILCA class rules section: Cheating, rule 2 or the RRS and potentially even rule 69.1 b (1) Long story short, yes it's really quite illegal ;-) Hope that helps =)

  @redfly4737Ай бұрын

  @@nroose ok, but what happens if you back your sail? You turn into the wind/ maybe go backwards. That's, like you said, totally OK, only that you don't have priority. This is not crabbing though. Crabbing is backing your sail to leeward, thus turning the bow into the wind and then sculling your back end to windward too. Like that you travel up the starting line, aka. crabbing. That is not ok.

  I'd say that my improvement was relative to some of the best in the world. Prior to a structured hiking bench routine, I might be able to hang on to the world's fastest for ~1 minute at a time. After hiking bench training, this improved to 2-3 minutes, but my hiking bench level was still way below the best in the world.

  I see there is enough wond for them to put the weight on the gunwhale. How would the donwind technique would change with even less wind like 5-6 knots? I've seen your video with very light wond but I would like to have some key points to work on.

• 
  @danselfsailing9 ай бұрын

  In 5-6 knots, you're mostly going to be focussing on sailing by the lee and staying in pressure. There's not going to be enough acceleration to surf, or to justify large up turns. When you do get to a nice gust, you can start doing small up turns to capitalise on the extra speed and head more towards the mark. Wind this light is also going to require more focus on angle, and plotting your course towards the mark. As you will be sailing by the lee most of the time, timing your gybes is going to be crucial to sail the optimal VMG course.

  More accurate to say that gelcoat is a pigmented polyester resin. It is not a paint. It is designed to cure inside a mold, absent oxygen. It does not flow out to smooth finish like paints are designed to do. Which is why we use something to exclude air from gelcoat repairs, e.g. cello-tape over small chip repairs.

  It looks like 16 countries qualified in both the 6's and 7's at worlds. Maybe you can do a video regarding how many more opportunities sailors/countries have to qualify for 2024 Olympics. How many spots available at each event including dates and locations of said events.... Growing up and learning to sail in NZL I'm glade to see NZL has two great sailors to carryon from Sam Meech. Now living in USA I have also been pulling for Charlie Buckingham throughout his long career. While he was not able to catch the big win he was always in the top ten...! I have sailed with these top USA guys Chapman Petersen, Leo Boucher. Daniel Escudero and the McCann brothers and they all leave me in the dust..... For not one to make it into gold fleet just goes to show how deep and competitive the international ILCA sailor fleet is.... or maybe it comes down to starting ability's in big strong fleets..... your thoughts ? Keep the ILCA vid's coming.

  This a good idea, thanks for the in depth comment. Racing at this level comes down the being good in everything, but the big separator between boats (in my opinion) is still usually going to be speed. The top sailors in the world are so incredibly fast in all conditions that sailors in the bottom of gold fleet/top of silver won't keep up with them for more than 2-3 minutes at a time.

  I think a venue should host the championships for that country before they can host a continental or world championship. For example a venue in the Norway should host the Norwegian/Scandinavian championships before they can host the European championships or Worlds. That way they need to scale up over time instead of trying to jump to an event far larger than they have hosted before. I think a combination of this and a multi year bid for an event would really help.

  I want to add a thing just to have a reference sensation to confront with. When I tack in light and medium wind I always make sure to have the former front foot pushing on the far side of the cockpit so I can literally jump or push my butt all the way up to the new side. This is particularly effective for short people (I'm 171cm). Grabbing the new side with the hand, in my experience, is not enough to make sure my butt peeps out of the gunwale so I need this "extra-burst" with my foot. For better learning then I usually give the advice of putting some mind on that foot, checking if there's enough pressure on it.
