Thank you for your channel and videos. I recently went from sailing dinghy's to purchasing a C&C 27. Your videos are straight forward, everything is explained in detail and you really focus on the basic yet necessary skills needed for sailing a larger (to me) boat. Thank you and please continue to produce more videos!
Thanks so much for making and posting this video! By the end I new exactly where and what was going to happen next and why. So helpful for new sailers. Cheers!
Your films are very professional and informative. I was looking for such a channel for a long time and finally found it! You are best. The only feler is music, sometimes drowns the captain's precious comments and command's , and every word is important for the novice sailor. Please continue your series, especially training videos. Best wishes
I would like to support all the positive comments with one condition. Lose the music please. Its like night club music, not appropriate and it drowns out some of your words.
Thank you for your efforts in making this great video. If I could just agree, the “club” music detracts from the lesson I’m trying tolerance. I want to listen to you and concentrate, not dance! The lesson is the entertainment for me, I don’t need thumping music to keep my little brain happy.
Great videos thankyou for taking the time to make them as they are very useful to new sailors like me. I will make one comment though, the music is very distracting especially when you are talking and i find myself drawn to the music instead of your instruction. It could be just me but i do see other comments regarding it. As i say, great videos but, shame about the music.
1, Stand by or prepare to Jibe. 2, Helm to weather (turning the boat) 3, Jibe ho, as the stern goes through the wind and headsail moves across the deck. The boom should be much tighter particularly in stronger winds if you want to keep your rig.
Paul, thanks for your comments and for watching. I do think that "Helm to weather" is somewhat vague. With wheel steering as tin the video, the wheel is turned to leeward. When teaching in a Colgate 26 with a tiller, I tell the students "tiller away from the boom" for a jibe, "tiller towards the boom" for a tack, instructions they find easy to follow. As to the boom being adequately centered, perhaps the issue is when I look up at the boom in the video, the GoPro camera has a very wide angle that makes boom look farther out than it is. Checking the angle of the mainsheet on the traveler provides a better view of how centered the boom actually is.
Hiya. Thanks for responding. I appreciate that much of what I suggested was traditional sailing terminology and I am not someone who sticks to tradition. I am always in favour of making things easier for students. But Jibe ho has a specific meaning and has always been the instruction to the crew to bring the headsail across as the stern goes through the wind. It is what Jibe ho means. Using jibe ho in the way you do is just wrong and will be very confusing to students who have learned the true meaning of Jibe ho or who work with other sailors who have a true understanding of the instruction Jibe ho. What do you call out to let the crew know it is time to bring the headsail across the deck?
Paul, "Jibe-ho" is simply the helmsman's warning that he/she is then turning the stern thru the wind. It warns the crew to be ready to ease the mainsheet after the boom jibes...If you treat the command as an instruction to the crew to handle the jib, which the wind blow across the foredeck anyway, thats fine for you, but perhaps not a common use. But to each their own, I guess a term as universal as jibe-ho needs no more discussion here.
Excellent instructional video with demonstrations of each step performed by the crew. The only comment I have is your music (while it is lovely) is too loud. Sometimes it's hard to hear the words.
I really enjoy all your videos-however, the music is always too loud without editing while you're speaking. And I feel that you're speaking is important to teach the techniques you're addressing. Please either turn down the disco beats, or edit them out while you're actually talking the the crew in those parts....
Thank you for these great videos! I wish you would cut the music, though ;-) especially because it's much louder than your voices - and we want to hear the sea and not electric drums!!!
Jibing? An instructional video about Jibing, really? If you are trying to put your sailing yacht's stern through the wind, then you will be performing a Gybe. Not a jibe.

There aren't many RUclips sailers posting hands on "how it happens" videos, and yours are just spot on. Keep the videos rolling please.
same set up as my new yacth, so very helpful!

Thank you for your kind words. A video like this takes a lot of time to assemble and it is wonderful to hear that someone appreciates it!

What to do, and what not to do. Great video!
This was a Master Class.... with a Very Classy Crew... Than you very much .
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Great video. Its good to see the don'ts demonstrated, something other videos often n fail to do.i
I would like to support all the positive comments with one condition. Lose the music please. Its like night club music, not appropriate and it drowns out some of your words.
very useful videos.I would either lose or lower the background music when narrating, just a bit distracting.other than that, brilliant.
I agree. Maybe use more relaxing music, please.
Keep them coming! Best sailing videos on here :-)
same set up as my new yacth, so very helpful!
fantastic videos as im about to learn to sail

I agree it’s hard for me to concentrate with the music so loud

Good instructional video. Would be much improved without the background music.

ditto. Much of the instruction is drowned out by the music
Thank you.
Please can the music
Excellent video showing how it's done and mistakes to be corrected. Just wish the unnecessary boom boom beat was left off.

Could you upload the video with out the music please? ❤
Thank you for these great videos! I wish you would cut the music, though ;-) especially because it's much louder than your voices - and we want to hear the sea and not electric drums!!!
Disco Fever!
@@mchii6633 I used to watch that show all the time...back when...
very good explanation but the music is very disturbing. !!!!!!
music sucks! Still the best "how to jibe videos" I've seen.
can't hear a lot of what you're saying with the music playing.
I could not watch it unless I cut the audio... the music is the worse!!
Thx, but unwatchable for me due to the loud background music
Good videos ----- bad music
Would be much easier to understand what you say and do if you turn off the music. Now it's difficult to hear what you say.
Isn’t it spelt Gybe
I think primarily so in Commonwealth countries...! Like color versus colour
Music way too loud to hear you mate!
Jibing? An instructional video about Jibing, really?
If you are trying to put your sailing yacht's stern through the wind, then you will be performing a Gybe.
Not a jibe.
I guess I can offer no defence for this offence...
I love your videos but the music needs to go or be turned down
Turn the stupid music off so I can her the dialogue. Really good videos ruined as If we can't function without club music.
Lose the music.
I could have sworn that the word is spelled gybing, well it is in English anyway maybe this is just an Americanism but it is incorrect
It is gybing everywhere.
Turn bloody music OFF
Might be better not to show impatient mistakes and helms too far...
