Sailing Instructional Video. Discuss this video and anything sailing on my forum www.anything-sailing.com . A video on main sail outhaul adjustment and principle
Been novice sailing for years and never had my boat set up for an adjustable outhaul. I think the hardware is there and I'll try rigging it next season. Thanks for the explaination.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and skills. I knew nothing about sailing, but now I am learning. Your style is relaxed and informative, again many thanks. Keep up the videos they are very good
Great explanations in your videos. I've got one season in, hauling out for the winter today, have learned a lot in one season, even more due to your videos. Would be great if you had a diagram or pdf summary of the sail adjustments and what they do. Thanks for all you've done!
These pp consultant videos are very instructional and nicely presented. As one viewer commented the roach is not correctly defined here. It really makes no difference to this video but the roach is the extra part of the sail on the leach which makes the curvature, a deviation from triangular shape. Wikipedia explains this nicely. I will recommend all these videos to my experienced sailing friends.
You say that the draft of the upper 2/3 of the mainsail must be adjusted with the backstay, but could it not also be adjusted with a combination of traveler/mainsheet, and boom vang?
