Check out Bas Rutten's Liver Shot on MMA Surge: http://bit.ly/MMASurgeEp1 Learning how to sail isn't hard if you're near water, since chances are there will be a sailing school near you. Our local school is the California Yacht Club, which sails with four-person Martin M242 boats every week. We met up with two members of the club, support boat specialist Mike George (he did the water shots for Baywatch for 13 years!), and Pease Glaser, a former sailor for the U.S. team. Leah finds out about the different components of a sail boat, how to raise a sail, and even how to sail against the wind. Join her by watching today's episode! see our related links: http://mahalo.com/Sailing http://www.m242yachtsusa.com/ http://www.glasersails.com/ http://www.calyachtclub.com/ http://mahalo.com/Pease_Glaser http://mahalo.com/How_to_Sail http://mahalo.com/How_to_Rig_a_Small_Sailboat http://mahalo.com/How_to_Tie_Nautical_Knots http://www.mahalo.com/Baywatch for more videos see http://www.youtube.com/user/mahalodotcom

How do you shrink the sail if the wind is too strong so you don't capsize or tilt too much into the water? I tried looking for a video and seem to not find any. I know the sail goes up with these little sliders so do you just bring it a little down and roll it or something so only a portion of it is actually being used? If you can point me to a video or if you can make one, it would be great.

That was about sailing? Maybe a little more than just raising the sail and running the tiller...the wrong way? How about people that don't live near Marina Del Rey? I guess they are out of luck.

@lanny117 I agree. The girls are very...."Cursis"

Cynthia Wolfe-Nolin - 14 years ago

drav1dan - 14 years ago

@lanny117 : She uses them like an Aldis lamp to signal to other boats in Morse code when sailing.

mhardman2005 - 14 years ago

Ha ha! Next time I sail I'm going to do it his way, hoist the main while tied to the dock, with the main sheet tight. Next. install the tiller. Can't believe I've been doing it wrong all these years!

Carrie330011 - 15 years ago

I agree, you offer great advice here. But I'm sure it's not an easy task making a perfect video.

Kaledius - 15 years ago
