    The best video I’ve seen for introduction to sailing!

    Hello Harold! It was great speaking with you this evening. Your boats remind me of the Herreshoff 12½ my favorite small boat of all time!
  • @TheSoling27
    BRINGS BACK huge memories -- had one 16'-0" in the 80's
  • @hughmanatee7433
    Great lesson. It is so good to see you being filmed from another boat, so often these videos are filmed from within the boat and it is hard to see what is going on. Also great microphone.
  • @rickoliver2059
    Easy to understand basics Harold , thank you so much . Plus I love the simple designs and clean lines of the Whitehall Spirits , they look like they would be best to learn in , cheers from NZ .
  • @complexlittlepirate3589
    Perfect for a beginner, so clear. I have just begun learning to sail my 8ft OzRacer RV dinghy (balance lug) and really appreciate the tips and guidance here

    It's also worth mentioning that jibbing is when you're most likely to capsize the boat, break the boat, and/or break a skull.
  • @mikeu5380
    Such clear instruction. Thank you from Japan!
  • @gregsavige3587
    That was the best video I've watched yet. It's inspired me to keep at my little dinghy and learn the craft. Thank you very much
  • @eamonnocarroll5866
    This is the best video of all the ones I have watched so far. I come from a windsurfing background and I am considering buying a Skipper14. Thanks so much for this video as it has explained all
