Your 1st bareboat charter (Part 3 of 3)
I sail smaller 15' Albacore dinghies, and we pick up our POBs on the windward side of the boat. That avoids having them run over by the side-sliding boat, as well as the serious possibility of capsizing from one large sailor hauling a second large sailor out of the water to leeward. I hold the mainsheet in one hand while helping the POB into the boat with the other. But my main difference with your approach is the APPROACH. If you try to approach a POB on a close-hauled course, you have great "brakes" - you can slow and stop just fine - but you have inadequate "gas" if you are going too slow. MUCH better to approach on a close reach. You can still slow and stop - if necessary by pushing the boom out to leeward - AND you also have a powerful gas pedal, sheeting in the main. I don't want to be anywhere near "in irons" when I'm sailing, and especially when doing something as sensitive as picking up a POB. I admit that sailors on a keelboat can stay right-side up your way. But we all know that dinghy sailors who switch to keelboats go to the head of the class (or the fleet), while keelboat sailors who switch to dinghies swim a lot while they acquire the skills. So why not teach a system that works well universally? With your 7 boat-length distance, there's lots of opportunities to test the "gas" and "brakes" on the approach and tweak the approach if necessary.
Fantastic video series, thanks for putting these together. Now I know what they are talking about when I watch Sailing La Vagabond.
Excellent Instruction..
Thank you
Amazing! I am thinking about getting certified and this is going to be so helpful!
Brilliant little vid. Thanks for taking the time to do this.😊
Thank you!! I love it
Tie me a sheep shank …
Even more important than knot tying and marlinspike seamanship is proper sailing attire. Be sure to have a WHITE Capt’s hat, an ascot and brand new Sperry deck shoes
That’s not a cleat hitch.
thanks so much this is great!
Love these videos!
These are the best videos. Love Capt Dave!
We love Capt Dave as well
We may laugh at the red bull approach, but we'll all remember all the terms and the lessons of this video lol
Awesome stuff must be that Captain David
Thanks for this!
Great explanation, thank you a lot!
I’ve rummaged through most of RUclips videos but this guy is the best. Thank you for putting this together !
Excellent, clear instruction
Love the SF scenery
Very helpful, thank you!
I like the magic tricks at the end!
Thank you for this awesome educational video!
Thank you. Much appreciated.
I only have 10,250,800.00 IQD I’m not selling any of it. I can’t hold it all in one hand if it is out of the ziplock bag it is in.
Excellent
Why do all American instructional videos feel like they’re talking to a bunch of 5 year olds? 🤔
That's a tiny jib!
A note for any beginners watching this: the halyard in the cabin is pretty unusual. Usually it's at the bottom of the mast. Also a lof of simpler boats won't have a boom vang, cunningham, or traveller. Also, it's rather unusual to put the main up at the dock. He did this for the demo, but usually you motor out and raise it facing the wind.
Great explanations.
This is a great demo, but why aren't they wearing PFDs?
Love it!
Great job for very experienced and practiced sailors, but for most boats with one very experienced captain and usually one or a few other people with varying experience and less knowledge, paired with a little sea state, low visibility /night, white caps, this is a great way to loose someone at sea. Getting out of earshot, over 100 feet from someone, loosing sight, expecting to keep track of an imaginary disappearing line in waves, say goodbye to the person overboard. Heave to, stay close to the person, maybe you can stay close enough they can yell to you, swim to you, good chance the boat will drift down on the person. Sailing 7 boat lengths from somone who fell overboard aT night into cold water is a death sentence.
the only correct time to reef is when you first think about it. any later and its probably too late and will be dangerous to attempt.
docking is without a doubt the scariest part of boating... well, besides being caught out in a storm on the open ocean in a boat too small for it!
Thanks David,I'm new to sailing and have really enjoyed your clear and concise tuition.Can't wait to see what you have coming up next.
Wonder,clear instruction.Thanks!
Really wonderful tuition.Thank you!
Even before the 'rabbit' business, forming the loop for a bowling is critical. Beginners trying the knot after a brief recess from attempts will start doing it the opposite way and creating a failed attempt at a proper bowling. I like to teach it with two important tips added: 1. Teach the proper 1/4 turn twist of the rope that (even blindfolded) will result in the proper loop configuration 2. I use the apology of a highway on ramp. "You are on a county road and want to get on the interstate. So you get on the ramp which takes you from a surface road to an elevated interstate. You have to use the ramp (create the loop) that takes you UP ONTO the highway ! Keeping this saying in mind reminds the beginner that the loop must lay over, not under the line when forming the loop. ;)
On the bowling or sheet bend, I find that teaching these knots, where confusion (and subsequent frustration) comes in, is that it is rarely if ever stated "the rabbit comes out of the whole... and goes DOWN around the tree !" 20 minutes after initial introduction to tying the knot and the student is saying 'the rabbit comes out of the hole and around the tree...." FULL STOP ! This is where the beginner can go arey. They (the beginners that tie an improper bowling/ sheet bend) go around the tree the wrong way. They instead of going DOWN around the tree, instead go UP OVER and around the tree. My teaching experience is that term term / use of rabbit metaphor must be emphasized " the rabbit comes out of the hole and goes DOWN around the tree !" ;)
Very excited to see what's coming!! Your videos have been instrumental in helping me prep for and pass the keelboat and BCC classes. Can't wait for what's next!
Great to hear!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Been doing it wrong
What do you mean?
I was up reefing when I noticed my jib lose pressure i hit the deck so quick. My helms person accidentally gybe my head was spared ❤
Well, you can say that you were aware of what happens prior to an accidental gybe. Good job keeping an eye on the jib!
Nice
Thanks
Geeze, I saw the word "Backstay" in your thumbnail and hoped to find a decent video about the "backstay" (when to use, impact on main, jib, etc) that I could forward to my sailing students. But there is literally no useful information about the backstay other then your mentioning it as part of standing rigging. You might consider changing your thumbnail.
Funny you should mention that. That video is for beginner students and knowing the parts of the boat. However, we will be releasing a video in the coming weeks on an advance understanding of the backstay and other adjustments for various wind conditions. So, standby. While I gotcha here... what would you like to see in a video about the backstay or anything else? Let us know. Cheers
Thank you for the great playlist of videos. I take my ASA 101 class this weekend in Oceanside, CA.
Awesome! Let us know if you have any questions. Enjoy your classes.⛵
Sweet
thank you all for this great series of videos! taking my first asa 101 course tomorrow, and these videos were a fantastic supplemental/redundant learning tool for the concepts in the "Sailing Made Easy" ASA book. Appreciate the time and energy you all put into these. I'm in los angeles, but anyone I know in the SF/bay area that is interested in sailing - I will be sending them your way! Fair winds :)
Thanks Braden! Have a great class. Let us know how it goes. Cheers
My wife has just passed ASA101 in Kaoshiung, Taiwan. These videos are very helpful!
Thanks great to hear! How was her experience learning in Taiwan?
Good but Kaohsiung Harbour not as pretty as San Francisco Bay!
