This was OK, yet never touched the sail shape, tight leach line to prevent disturbance, what to do with the sail in big wind, moderate wind and light wind. Actually left out a lot of info
For a video titled How To Helm Upwind I thought it was spot on!
"on a wheel like this I like to move it no more than about 2 millimeters"
Moves the wheel 250mm
Now I am no professional. further, I have never sailed in my life. But is it wise to follow a cloud. Do clouds not move themselves: How can you go straight following a cloud?
Smaller, older boats (IOR-style) must absolutely sail to the waves upwind, or they will stop you dead in your tracks. Methinks Mr. Thompson has not had to sail a non-planing boat under 60' in quite a while… Otherwise, this is a good, very broad-strokes, 5 min. video on steering upwind for cruisers, I'm guessing, so of course there is nothing about sail shape or trimming, or optimum pointing, etc.
These videos are pretty much weak. Maneuvering in light air and flat seas is a lot different than even medium air and say 1 meter waves.
