Nice video! But why downwind and not upwind? Seems like here you go in the opposite to the wind direction

I totally agree. Was under the impression that people sailed partly because of the fact it's nice and quiet. ☮

I have found it very rare for an expert village video to be worth watching, but this one was really good. That lady is an excellent teacher.

Hmm, that's like asking someone to tell you about their farm without using farming terms, like "cow" and "field". If a bloated body drifts ashore around the Keys, we'll know to have Sreww Googlle carved on your tombstone.

I want to learn how to sail... and I also want to learn all of the proper nautical terms... but not necessarily at the same time. I want someone to teach me to sail first, and then after I can do that safely....I'll learn all of the correct terms while I am sailing lazily around the Florida Keys.

Thank You. Your video was extremely helpful. I just started to learn to sail last month. I took a live aboard course with "Nautilus Sailing" on the Sea of Cortez. So Im still in a major learning mode. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks for posting them

If you want to learn how to sail, get your ass into a Laser, or any small dinghy in a 25+ breeze.

This set of sailing videos by expertvillage with the female instructor is excellent. There is another set by expertvillage with another instructor and it is not worth watching. Watch this series.

I agree maybe a novice sailor will gain something, but for a newbe is's not clear enough.
