How to sail a dinghy. The best way to get a feel for sailing.

- How to sail a dinghy. The best way to learn to sail is to start out in a small sailing dinghy. Learning how to sail a dinghy lets you feel what the wind is doing through the movement of the boat, through the tiller and through the sheets that connect to the sails.

The bigger the boat, the less feel you get through the control surfaces. Once you learn how to sail in a dinghy, you can progress to bigger boats, taking with you a strong sense of feel for the wind and how the boat is responding.
Like the bearings in my boat, The effects of 20 years in the timber flooring business mean that my back, knees and, shoulders took a massive beating. After taking seaweed daily as “functional food” for a few months, I discovered I could do squats without pain. I was totally amazed because I used to have to pull myself up on a doorpost. It is helping me a lot, and now I can see a future sailing into my 70’s 80’s and beyond. If you try some, you will be helping me keep producing these videos, and doing your body a huge favour. Here is where I get it….

Zac and Carl from SBS Sunshine coast had their first sailing lesson in Sailing dinghy Moonlight on the Maroochy River.
Sailing Moonlight, a 12 ft classic clinker dinghy and Saving Mozart, a 40-year-old fibreglass trailer sailer.

Looks like you guys are having a great time 👌 love it lots of laughs
Heading out on Wednesday to do a second sale training session with the same guy but this time on the trailer sailor.
Keep an eye out for it when I publish
Really nice. Brought a big smile to my face.
Mine too!
@@SmallSailboatCruising Sailing with smooth weather tends to have a relaxing effect on majority of the people.
Been looking for a dinghy. I might make one. Sailing has always peaked my interest. Awesome video 👍
You should!
My family moved to Fl. in the sixties when my dad transferred to the Space center. We got a place right on the Indian river in Titusville. I got a paper route, mowed yards and cleaned windows to buy a dinghy to sail up and down the river. I practically lived on that boat during the summer. I camped on islands, fished and shrimped for food, and became the delivery boy for many of the live aboards anchored in the river. One morning I went out back and my boat was gone. There had been a trimaran anchored just off shore for a few days. It and my boat were gone. Fifty years later I find myself getting the itch to sail again.
+Michael Raines I had a late resurrection into sailing. Don’t die wondering.
@@SmallSailboatCruising Not going to. I got a side job and all funds are going towards my boat.
@@xgtmg that’s the spirit. Send me a photo when you get it.
@@xgtmg late reply but did you ever get the boat?
I loved doing this when i was about 10. Spent all summer doing it with some guys up the road from my grandparents. They sold the cottage and haven't seen one since. I wish I could find a real boat like this, and not only those racing dinghies that are unsuitable for anything but splashing around in the warm weather. I'd take one of these fishing everyday if I could.
Beautiful memories
that is a cooool dinghy though
Thanks. I turns a few heads still.
Cool
Thanks
Kinda thought the one guy was trying to scull with the rudder.
The rudder is a bit small for sailing - better for motoring. I should increase the size of the blade. Good observation - when a learner gets it in his hands he has no natural feel for it.
A very enjoyable and upbeat video! Great fun to view! I wonder if Moonlight's Captain informed the young guys that there are sail configurations that are boomless?
Didn’t see the need to inform them. Graduated to sailing a trailer sailer where some fear of the boom is wise. 😂
@@SmallSailboatCruising Boom awareness is certainly "a must"! If the young guys stay with sailing they'll see the endless options for rigs! I again compliment you for posting such pleasant videos!
Thanks. He is very gybe aware now.
As a matter of fact... He Did NOT mention that!! Boomless? It could be BOOMLESS!!! I'm telling you THAT really does hurt when it hits you on the noggin... no matter how thick your beanie is.
Carl Chambers they’re planning on sailing much larger vessels that will definitely have booms. So it’s probably best that they learn to be boom aware sooner rather than later. You’re right they do hurt when they hit you and it makes you a lot more careful. Rather get a small bang off a small boom then a larger blow from a fully fledged sailboat. I’ve never sailed with a boom lift configurations so I can’t comment from experience but how do they go as far as efficiency compare to a rig with a boom.
How much does a boat like this normally run for?
I’m not sure I understand the question?
@@SmallSailboatCruising cost. I wonder about an average cost for a typical snipe
What type of dinghy is that I need to know!! 😂
It is a custom design based on the "cadet Dinghy" familiar in sydney harbour and historically used for sail training on the Derwent River, Near Hobart
No training taking place here. Not what I expected based on the title.
Thanks for the feedback. Check out some of the others in the series, you might find what you were looking for there. Or maybe this kind of thing helps. ruclips.net/video/b477nzyJum0/видео.html
only one real way to learn how to sail. In a dinghy.
Windsurfing is also a good way to get a feel for hooking into the wind.
@@SmallSailboatCruising I found that controlling one's direction when windsurfing was hard for me to do!
I did a lot of wave sailing. 20 years of it. Balancing enter or effort with lateral resistance becomes an unconscious thing. Helps with getting the most out of every puff of wind.
That's a lovely boat. Tons of character.
My grandchildren have her now. Hope they learn to sail in her like my kids did.
