Most boats can point much closer to the wind and still be affective and in some cases faster and always make sure to look with your head.

I like to look around with my head too

You can't tell me what time I can sail!

You'll get on a lot better if you use your eyes to look around instead of your head.

Alex Fontes - 10 years ago

You use Joey Tribbiani's "Smell-the-fart" technique for wind direction as well. Cool!

I think thats a pretty good way to find wind direction. "look around with your head" sounds about right to me. pretty funny though for sure i got a kick out of it.

Roxanne Ledru - 11 years ago

thanks I had trouble knowing how open the sails would be for the wind direction I would look at a flag

Samuk - 11 years ago

I have never heard such a stupid way to find the wind direction

I understood it loud and clear and that's the purpose of the video, right? to help people?

SirLobsterman - 11 years ago

it is very simple, many people just like over-complicating it to make themselves look smart, it takes real genius to simplify it for the masses to understand. the last bit in the video is pure genius due to it's simplicity, just let the sail dictate where it wants to go and simply guide it a little for better performance.

Simple video, certainly not complicated, but good for beginners. Not that not all boats can point at the same height upwind. Some boats may perform better upwind, downwind, on a reach, etc than another.

@1lindalouise He's talking about padding the boom. Useless notion my humble opinion.

Frenemy - 12 years ago

@1lindalouise read his first two lines. it is about that.

@ashthegreat What do you mean, this may be deadly in deep far water? What is it about this video that's wrong?

Keith - 14 years ago

That was the best point of sail information I have seen on the internet. Thanks,
