    Keeping my hopes of learning to sail alive. Thanks for taking the time.
  • First time on the tiller was only the 4th time I have ever been on a dinghy. 15kt winds and no previous knowledge of tacking or anything. I'm surprised I didn't capsize! Your videos help a lot!

    This is a good, clear video. I’m learning the dinghy this week & I must admit, I find the Tac hard to get right.

    Are there any really small compact boats that I cn just buy to learn sailing by myself. I mean boat that does not need a parking lot in marine or some special storage. Boat that easy to transport, maybe something like inflating sailing boat. Really want to learn sailing but do not know how to start.

    On 1:33 is the moment where you sometimes hit your head hard and fall into the water ;D
  • Before two weeks I sailed in a Caravel and I forgot to duck so I broke a tooth
  • I can't see the video with the written words ,with the audio is enough..please!
