Ever wondered what the different sail controls do on an RS Aero (or Laser, for that matter)? How much vang to put on downwind? Where to sit when going downwind in light air? As part of the clinic before the 2019 Sarasota Sailing Squadron One-Design Regatta, I held a sail trim session for attendees. Discussed were the effects on sailtrim at various points of sail by the primary controls of a singlehanded, unstayed-rig sailboat: - Downhaul/Cunningham; - Boom Vang; - Outhaul; - Mainsheet. Also fielded were questions specific to RS Aero sailing, such as capsize recovery, weight placement, daggerboard position, and something to never put a lot of weight on... Filmed by Boris Mezhibovskiy (who graciously consented to letting me post this), with great input and questions by Jim Myers, Phil Myerson, Max Loshinsky and Boris. Mid-clinic snacks by Lainie Pardey!
Can someone translate it into Spanish?
Subtitles would be much appreciated, especially for the nautical terms
