  What I like to do when the jib does not want to fly, is to trim the mainsail a bit, so that it creates a little forward airflow into the jib. But to be honest I am not sure if this actually increases the speed, because the mainsail may work a bit less optimal. And of course it increases the chance of an accidential gibe a bit. Thanks for the great videos!

  I wish I knew which shackles to use on the top and bottom of the head roller. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, why don’t you just put a couple of turns of the halyard around the drum, and then go forward with the bitter end and you can raise and Feed at the same time?

  I find you need to use the winch to hoist the sail into the luff extrusion, which is much easier to do via the winch handle than by hand. When properly positioned, the pre-feeder works like a charm, and you avoid the hassle of ducking the sail when its part way up and luffing about.

  OMG this is a great video. We your procedure and the only thing the stumped us was our halyard had a bunch of twists in it. When we raised the halyard it would wrap it self around the furler shaft. We un did the bowline knot from the top of the furler, took the twists out of the halyard rope and retied the halyard to the top of the furler mechanism and bingo, the halyard raised the sail with the expected effort and did not twist around the upper furler shaft (tube?). Thanks so much for this video.

  Well explained. Just a question-how come you seem to wind the winch in both directions?

• 
  @SailFanaticsАй бұрын

  The winch in question is two speed - clockwise is more powerful.

  Do you route your jib sheets aft outside the shrouds then back through the life lines at the car or do you leave them routed inside the shrouds and life lines directly from the clew to the car? Thank you

• 
  @SailFanaticsАй бұрын

  Depends on size of jib/height of clew and location of shrouds. Closehauled, you want the sail to trim as inboard as practicable, so inboard of lifelines would be desirable. For a large jib/low clew sail, your sheet would go outboard of shrouds. For a smaller jib/higher clew, you can often run the sheet inboard of the uppers/outboard of the lowers. If the shrouds are located outboard (to the toerail/topsides), then you want to try to run the sheet for any jib size inside one or more shrouds. When reaching, you want to move the sheet forward and outboard, when racing I add temp tie a short sheet through a block on the toerail, outside the lifelines.

  You should get rid of the music altogether. It’s a sailing video, not a boring work safety video you’re being forced to watch…and that’s definitely the kind of music they use for those work safety videos. Either way, the music makes it hard to hear what you’re saying.

  Interesting COB manoeuvre, which is ok if you have very little wind or waves. But this is possibly a big problem if wind and waves are strong, you furl the jib, and can’t get the motor started or don’t have one, then you don’t have the jib to help with steerage and control, and you could end up hitting the COB or are not able to get close enough, wasting valuable time.

  All recovery procedures have their risks and shortcomings. None are the ultimate answer. That said, this is the one COB procedure I think most people can execute, most successfully, most of the time.

  sailing is easy, put canvas up and the boat moves... the skill in sailing comes from knowing all the secrets of trimming that cloth for best efficiency. Thanks for these videos, now i have something else to adjust on my boat next time im out. Cheers!

  I adjust my blocks another way. I put my boat on course and trim the jib then look at my telltails if the top are lifting but middle and bottom are streaming then block goes forward if bottom are hanging and middle and top are streaming I move it aft. I don’t have to luff up to see what adjustment I need . I feel it is a easy way to set the jib block and have been doing that way for 50 years. I do have to luff the jib to release sheet tension move block forward

  Excellent video. One small note about the line making all parts of the sail equally twisted. While it helps to say it that way to simplify explaining the principles, in practice, the top half has to be more twisted than the bottom, simply because there's typically more wind at the top. This is typically how the sails are cut. More twist at the top than at the bottom, by default. You can verify this by looking towards from the bottom of the forestay.
