Still learning but doesn’t loosening the vang/kicker also upright the boat?

Jack Makes More sense in Three Steps to Avoid Heel, Than a dozen explanations by a dozen other sailors... I Now Have a Resource of 3 Go-To Reactions for Heel recovery... ThanX JACK

tighten your main and add some vang that thing looks like a bed sheet

Hey Jack ........watch your roach:))))

Definitely sitting on the high windward side of a day sailor will reduce heeling. But on larger, heavier keel boats, you need sail adjustment techniques like Capt Jack describes.

Sit on the high side!

Buy A sailing book online. Steve Colgate would be good. also look online, cruisers forum dot com for someone looking for crew and just get out there, or find a local sailing club. Good luck

Nice life jackets!

Sit on the port side of the ship when on port tack. That will help. too.

Captn Jack doesn't mention "dumping" the traveller to leeward in this video. However, his boom is tacked using a three-point system that has the same effect as moving a sheet car to leeward to ease the main and dump wind from the sail.

Alan Littlefield - 13 years ago

That would be true, but that boat doesnt have a traveller. the main sheet seems attached to the transom

Ted Crocker - 13 years ago

Another way is to let the main sheet car "down" on the traveler, while taking it in slightly. This will reshape the sail to spill more air. This works especially well in heavy winds.
