We can learn so much from you. I love the moment at
Great to see you in the P7 Black Team. I bought a used AC1 couple of years ago. The sail was in a good shape, but wouldn’t rotate smoothly. I approached P7 and was lucky to get Andrea give me detailed advice on how to resolve my issue. Great customer care at P7!
Hello Simon, I started watching your channel last summer and it has helped me improve my sailing a great deal. Thank you very much. Your recent video about rig steering has already made a difference in my gybe exit, up wind sailing, and tacking. Another tip that made a big difference was about not attaching the harness lines to the boom too tight. That way I can easily adjust the position on the water. I actually noticed that from a video you did last summer and that little tip has saved a lot of sessions. I have a coupe requests. One problem I run into is getting my front foot stuck in the strap when I gybe. Part of the problem is I frequently have to wear booties as it is cold here in Canada at the beginning and end of the season. Another issue is that I tend to use the most outboard foot strap position as this feels most comfortable to me when blasting along. I've tried making my foot straps really big which does make it easier to get in and out. However, if I make them too big, I find my feet sliding in too far when sailing and I lose power. Another problem of mine is exiting the gybe on a plane in conditions where this is no flat water to be found. I often run into the back of a bit of swell and fall off the plane on my gybe. Any suggestion are greatly appreciated either here or in a future video. Thanks again for your amazing channel. I find it very professional, well structured, and easy to understand.
Thanks for the boom height tip, I have been rigging on the lower side thinking it offers better control, cant wait for these lock downs to end so I can try it higher!
All the tips are really helpful...But the one about the backup loop at pulley i´m going to adopt right next sailing session...! All happiness.
Thanks for the tips! Excellent as always, and congrats on new sails.
Love Point-7, first sails I bought and I loved it.
Another great video. Always more to learn. Happy sailing! 👍🏻
Nice vid, love the new gear. Always loved the P7 black-yellow theme.
Congrats on getting a sponsor. Funny enough I switched to Point-7 earlier this year and love the gear.
Loving my Point-7 sails! good to see you got sponsor by them!
Great video as always, I found the harness line discussion very helpful, I know I tend to have my front hand too far forward and I have been working on trying to move it back and moving the harness lines further back. I think its a hangover from my days back in the early 90's when it was all very different, my harness lines need to go further back for sure, I just need to have confidence in the sail and where the power is......
Great tips, as always, and congrats on the sponsorship with with Point-7.
Congrats on the new gear and thanks for the video
Ha! You showed this sail to me when I was in Vassiliki. Looks awesome!
Congratulations on the new sponsor! I'd be interested to know how much difference you think a carbon boom makes, and whether it's ok to run a boom (alloy or carbon) close to or at its full extension!
Great tips and ideas, forecast for a blow this we’d include Sydney. Look forward to putting your lessons into practice
Thanks for a great tutorial.
Lightbulb moment.. I have my lines set really wide apart and use an adjustable outhaul . I often wondered how other people could sail with lines so close together especially if the wind range is c 15 - 20kts from lulls to gusts..The outhaul comment makes sense. My most used sails are twin cams too.
Thanks a lot for this and all other video's. Enjoy them very much and the best to improve windsurf skills with great recording and sound.
