You are a legend mate !

What type of buoy/beacon would show this FI (4) 15s 28m 12m ?

Thanks so much heave been great resources all of your videos

Question: what changes when you are using a stack pack/lazy jack bag?

Right got it... drop the mainsail.... and sail on the jib... lol

New here it’s good to see this kind of video it helps a lot

So clear and easy to understand

I'm nearly 63 haven't sailed since I was a kid just brought a Roberts 33 thank you you can never know enough, I will be sailing single-handed

Brilliant just brought my Robert's 33

Is lead block the same thing as car position?

Is when to readjust the Vang and Cunningham in a later video?

Curious; I do roofs. We use rope grabs. Rock climbers do too. Basically they grab the lifeline so you don't fall more than the length of your tether which is clipped to the grab rather than the line itself. You could even do a prusik knot, clip in and slide it along your lifeline. With two, you can even climb and self-recover.. a video on using two prusik knots to ascend a rope. Not sure what wet conditions do though for the bite. ua-cam.com/video/bscpdQ6fcPQ/v-deo.html

I wonder if tether with a loop or two either knotted into the lines or sewn in as a feature to make climbing easier would be a good idea. I could never, probably even on the dock, pull myself up with only a thin line to grab onto.

Wonderfully paced ....thankyou for your time and effort in making these videos.

He should create an instructional video on creating perfect instructional videos….really very well down

Actually most people EXCEPT North Americans and maybe Canadians would recognise the Alpha flag as the diver down flag. The red and diagonal white stripe dive flag is an American invention originally used mainly for inland use because lake boaters rarely used signalling flags. Originally the design existed of two horisontal red stripes with a white strip between them. Discovering that they had redesigned the Austrian flag they changed it to its current design. It is not used a lot outside the US and Canada.

Great primer!

Very clear instructions. No waffle! Thank you.

Such a good tutorial. The music is truly terrible though. The quality of the vocals is heavily distorded as well because the mic is setup all wrong. Probably the most used piece of 'music' in the history of UA-cam. All these cheap Chinese tech advertisers have beaten this specific one to death. I may have heard it a million times by now (yeah I know...) Come on man ;;) You can easily fix the clipping vocals in post as well. Remember, the UA-cam algorithm is keen on audio quality so it is pretty important not to have a bad mix or something that sounds like one of the millions of Dropshipping product ads in the first few seconds)., I'm sorry my music producer's mind had to chime in... rock on!

Great stuff thank you!

thanks mate cheers!

The actual US ensign is the regular stars and stripes flag, not the one with the anchor encircled by stars. If you go in internaitonal or foreign waters with the latter you could get in trouble (waters!).

Wonderfully explained and demonstrated. The animation was very clear! The gold standard of instruction, nothing is as good as this video!

Great video. I especially liked the wet pussy sound in your intro

Absolutely amazing! Thank you

Most traditionally the national flag was flown from that gaff of a sailing vessel. These days very few sailing vessels have gaffs. TM retired but still interested in flags

Awesome video, thank you! It would be great, if you could get into the controversies and details about heaving to in heavy weather in another video. Thanks!

Dude, you left out two steps. One, how did you get the wind to stop while lowering the mainsail, and Two, how does the sail cover fit with the halyard solidly pulled aft away from the mast? Neat result though.

This guy is one of the most competent teachers online, excellent, best in class tutorials. please run for US presidency, please, no really … please.

Another excellent video marco, thank you

Thank you, very understandable 😊

These are great, thank you so much for the invaluable free info! However, I always have to check my audio for these videos, it only seems to play out of the left speaker :D

Thank you❤

Thank you for this. Just a couple of questions: If your mast has more than one set of spreaders, which should be used? I am in Canada on Lake Ontario, and I have heard that if your boat is not registered you are not permitted to fly the national flag. Is this so? Even if you're visiting a US port?

It's called a controlled Gybe...& should be done every time you Gybe the sails. Additionally it takes the strees & strain out of the sails & the boom specifically the goose neck.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience

This video should be called "boating flag etiquette".

Where did you find that blue basic tether Marco?...short of sewing one. I'm not big on all the gizmos that get in the way and make clipping in and out more difficult than it needs to be. Wack and she's on, that's what I need

Excellent 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much for showing how to do this!

Seems to me that to be optimally rigged for single-handing, a "Dutchman" system might be recommended (for those who do not like lazy jacks & stack packs) to ensure that the sail flakes correctly as it is dropped. Sail-ties can then be used to clean up the bunt.

Thank you for your series on "Single Handing". However, I am concerned that your sailboat is not optimally rigged for single handing. Would the following single-handed approach to raising the mainsail be better? [1] Autopilot engaged - essential kit for single handing. [2] In the cockpit - boomvang released, mainsheet let out, toppinglift hardened; [3] Forward to the mast - remove sail-ties, raise and tension the main halyard; [4] Back to the cockpit - ease the toppinglift, set the boom as appropriate with mainsheet/traveller/vang, finally trim the sail with the outhaul. For single-handed mainsail reefing 2 & 4 above would be the same. [3] At the mast - lower the halyard, secure the tack cringle, harden the halyard, harden the reef line.

Regarding jacklines: For working at the mast (at 3:24) your jack-line is too loose and too close to the stanchions. You could easily stumble and be left hanging over the lifelines. Would it not be better to have another jack-line "V" from each end of the traveller to the mast - keeping you further inboard (especially on a boat with a 12' beam)? For operating within the cockpit, I think that a jackline running outside the cockpit coaming is too close to the stanchions and is asking for trouble, as above. Would it not be better to have additional jacklines more inboard, on along each side of the cockpit well at knee height?

Thanks

how about doing a video about when you have a front and a back boy to attact to?

who is stearing that boat? the autopilot? Try doing this without autopiolet or engine in high winds

What’s most distressing is the price of these flaires. It’s like burning gold

I'm old school... I kick the bow out, cast the stern line, hop on and putt off in your conditions. The one time I remember not kicking hard enough I had a nail-biter like yourself. Where you been these days?... hope everything's OK. Gave up on waiting for you to sell me your boat and bought a c34mk2 ;;)

I watch a lot of sailing channel’s, but yours is by far the most informative 👍

As I understand it, tacking is turning the bow by using the jib whereas gybing is turning the stern by using the main. Both turn the boat 90 degrees but both use different methods. When is one method preferable over the other?
