Why is there such a recieved need for graphics .... crap. Go back to real people please and give them a job.

I found it difficult to listen to the computer voice; like an old computer game.

Capt Eric Bergeron - 8 years ago

Great video and the editing is awesome.

I thought rubber turned to the right would send the boat leftward, not to the right?

enerZise Thanks for such a through explanation!

+wotan237 The video is correct.
If the Rudder is turned to the left ( / ) the boat will turn to the left. If the Rudder is turned to the Right ( \ ), the boat will turn to the Right.

You are thinking of the Tiller. If the Tiller is pushed Left ( \ ), the boat will turn Right and if the Tiller is pushed Right ( / ), the boat will turn Left.

The Tiller and Rudder work in opposites. The Tiller and Boat work in Opposites. The Rudder and Boat work matched. If the Tiller is Right, the Rudder is Left and the boat goes Left. If the Tiller is Left, the Rudder is Right and the Boat goes Right.

A Boat with a Helm Wheel works in matched with the Rudder and Boat. Rotate the Helm Wheel to the Right and the Rudder goes Right and the Boat goes Right.
Hope this helps.

This isn't a 420, which is what I'm learning to sail, but the info is good nonetheless.

Keel is centerboard

THANK YOU so much for making this. This is exactly what i needed. I don't care if the voice is a computer. The animations make it easy to follow. I'm planning to get a sunfish to practice on soon so this is great.

alex adams - 12 years ago

what kind of sail boat is this?

FilmpoetsTV - 12 years ago

your intentions with this are good but to be honest, that narration makes it fairly impossible to watch.

Tekedi - 12 years ago

Lots of great information here. Seriously. The format isin't the easyest, however once you get past that, you learn a lot, or at least I did.

The keel keeps the boat from "sliding" with the wind. When weighted, it provides a counterbalancing righting force when the boat heels.

FourDollaRacing - 13 years ago

@Panomition Yes, narrated by "Anonymous".

jellybean3264 - 13 years ago

@Pooshooter5k oh i get it now so if there was no keel the boat would just move with the wind and the keel stops that and in doing so it makes the boat heel over becuse of the side ways force on the keel?

@jellybean3264 The keel on a sail boat has the primary function of creating sidways drag in the water to counter the sideways frce of the wind blowing on the sails. This stops the boat from just moving with the wind. Some but not all keels on sailboats are weighted to im prove stability but this is a secondary function and not found on all sailboats. because the sail is on top and the wind is pushing on it to the side and the keel is on bottom and is resisting the push ofthe wind the boat leans.

hey Idiot , try listening to the video

jellybean3264 - 13 years ago

the keel is to stop the boat from capsideing you idiot no to help capsideing it
