1. Nice video…. thank you!

2. Thank you for some really informative videos about sailing.

3. Thank you so much. I just bought a 30’ clipper marine in Alameda and in middle of sailing we both realized there wasn’t a Vang lol.

4. nICE !! 😊✨🥂⛵️⚓️🚣✨👍👌👊✨

5. Nice explanation of sail twist and using the vang to adjust it. Thanks!

6. One of the best series of sail trim videos on YouTube.

7. Excellent video. This has helped my whole family understand the boom vang better. I've replayed a few parts just to make sure I got it all. Thank you!

8. Nice video but a point on the names used. The boom vang is known as the kicking strap or just "kicker" in the UK. I've never heard the term boom jack used for this application.

9. 10 years on and people are still learning from this vid, thanks. 🙂

11. 2:24 the traveler alone does NOT control the twist in the sail. It only controls the angle of the main relative to the centerline. To control twist you use mainsheet and the traveler only allows the mainsail to be pulled close to the centerline even when the mainsheet is loosen to give the sail more twist when going upwind in heavier winds, so to control twist with a traveler you always need to use it in combination with the main, unless you are changing your heading relative to the wind. Otherwise this is a very good video.

12. explicaçao excelente, obrigado!

13. Excellent video👍👏

14. One of the best sailing tutorials.

15. Great explanation and to the point.

16. Back when I was racing I never relied on the boom vang to close the roach; I'd adjust the Cunningham instead, bearing down hard on the Cunningham as wind speeds increased. Shows how much has changed in the almost 50 years since I competitively raced; only time I ever used the boom vang was on a broad reach or a run in apparent-wind speeds over 8 knots, and would rarely secure to the base of the mast. I'd normally secure the foot end outboard along the gunwale or jib track (depending on point of sail), in an attempt to avoid a Chines jibe when high seas were off my port or starboard quarter. Never gave me a problem. If I needed to stiffen the main I'd rely almost exclusively on the traveler and main sheet, and would make small tuning adjustments with the outhaul and Cunningham as wind velocities increased.

17. I'm delighted with your videos! VERY helpful!

18. Best explanation i've found. Thanks!

19. Thank you for sharing and making this so clear

20. Very useful. Thank you. It's hard to find this kind of explanation about sailing on the net. I learned a lot of explanations of the working of windmills though.

    Your explanation is a fine confirmation of my insight gained by that and addition as well. Thank you.

21. I agree, this is a clear explanation that is very helpful. Thank you very much. Adrian M

22. So which one is better?

23. Great info. I'm using it to help with my RC Soling. Thank you.

24. Thanks I appreciate the explanation on main sail setting !

25. This was good stuff – worth watching!! Thanks

26. My god man that was an excellent explanation. You've really helped me, thank you.

27. Well done.

28. Really good video but his thick accent makes it hard to understand him at times.

29. Great, diagrams are the key to understanding concepts, more diagrams the better…thx.

30. You just answered all of my downwind questions, I’m buying a vang asap. Thank you for this video.

31. Definitely amongst the very best explanation videos on YT. Top!

32. Good video but misuses the term 'roach' when he's actually talking generically about the 'leech'. The leech is the aft edge of any sail. Main sails are not usually a perfect triangle and any additional area aft the straight line from the head to the clew is called the roach.

33. Eye opener to new beginner sailor

34. these are amazing videos, thank you so much~ I was absolutely baffled about what the "ropes" on the boom is supposed to do or what they're even called

35. Awesome!

36. Poor english comprehension … the wind is higher the higher up the mast? No the wind is (stronger) in general at altitude

37. 14 years later and this video’s instruction is timeless!! Thanks.

38. Although concise, it's too much to take in as a beginner.

39. 👍

40. I love this video. It was super helpful. I am joining a racing crew tomorrow and want to do a great job.

41. absolutely wonderful video !!

42. Thank you for your fabulous videos.

43. Excellent and clear explanation thank you
