Pretty cool video, but not really a "how-to", more of a promotional  gig.  Think you spent too much time on the time-lapsed setup  and disassemble for the sake of making the credits last the length of the song.  No need to stretch the videos to the songs -- crop the songs.  Seen a few videos that show the "thrill" of small boat sailing.  If teaching that is you gig, then I'd recommend more promo vids w/ your shop tag periodically and at the end.

video moving so fast I was getting sick before even going to the water. I feel a video like this someone should be telling you what is going on not having to read about it and not seeing the video, it's like reading a book but you can take your time and see the photos of what is being read.

"Start" sailing? These guys are doing somewhat advanced stuff; hence, almost capsizing and having to bail water out of the boat. Beginners shouldn't be doing broad reaches like this.

Not a bad video, I don't know much about sailing so I was pretty discouraged seeing the boat flip a lot lol the songs weren't terrible but I might have rather heard you explaining what you're doing.

Do you always need all that clothing gear or depends on weather/climate?
James N
James N - 7 years ago
Obviously, the answer is no. We sailed the world before industrial society existed. People are trying to sell you things left and right, very little of it you actually need.
Marc C

+James Newlin Ah, ah. Eh eh
James N
James N - 7 years ago
yes, and it should be an expensive brand too. Sailing is impossible without thousands of dollars in modern high end gear. No one was able to sail well prior to the availability of modern clothing for sailing.

I live near the water in Florida. While watching sailboats, I notice that when one sail in play, some favor the jib, others the mainsail, often in the same conditions. Why?

Robert Colvin
Robert Colvin - 8 years ago
Don't mean to be redundant, but the camera work (inserts) which could have been really helpful were for the most part useless, as the camera jerked around and often was not even focused on the subject. And, to reinforce previous comments, music interrupted in a timely fashion by voice to explain details along with the supers would have made all the difference.

I  would imagine those quick to quip about the recommended sailing apparel  have not done much high latitude sailing'especially out side of the summer months, even in lower latitudes hypothermia can happen quickly.

There might be very useful information from the professionals to people who just started learning sailing, but may be next time you ask professional CAMERA MEN how to operate a camera and make a nice video? I got seasick just watching your video....

if you're a real sailor, you'll sail 12 months of the year(or whenever you get the chance during the year). so you better get those boots,gloves and wet suit pal.
