1. Excellent as always, Marco! Thanks for the clear explanations and informative graphics. You always see comments from people congratulating a skipper for posting video of his boat with the rail buried… but like you said, it's only a good thing on a rare number of hull designs nowadays!

2. Nice explanation for those new to sailing. Part 2 “how to fix this” would be nice as an entry to intermediate sail trim.

3. Scares me plenty!! Lol… well done!

4. Wow! incredible explanation.

5. Great explanation. Where I am struggling is defining what is "excessive". Each boat is probably different, and therein lies the challenge, but after watching the video, I'm still unclear as to what is "excessive", the basic premise of the video. Thank You.

6. Good and simple explanation well done. We will try out next season.

7. Also the sails lose forward force, I experimented with a hobby cat, getting it to fly a hull instead of eased sheet, it was slower.

8. I am an armchair sailor, fell i in love with sailing for about 6 years now. I read and watch everything I can. I got a chance to go on a 30-foot sailboat in our harbour here but the winds were 27 knots that day. The guy's wife was freaking because of the heeling, but I was given the helm and just smiled harder and harder as the boat heeled over, so when you say the angle of helm can really scare some people …, not me. I just had to say something.

9. great content! as a young sailor In MB there is no comparable teachers. lake Winnipeg has been my classroom and teacher haha. wish I could become a sail teacher but no such possibility here in MB

10. I did this a few weeks ago what a blast didn't think my sailboat could handle it

11. Just stumbled on this video… very well explained, I’ll have to make my father watch this so he understands that more heeling doesn’t mean more speed !..
    Instant subscribe !

12. I have been with this guy on his boat today and he totally heels a lot. It got up to 45° or so at times. You barely could sit in the cockpit without holding yourself in the seat by putting your leg on the opposite side.

    He tells me thats how you sail faster and keelboats cant capsize.

13. Very well done video. Subscribed!

14. so best way to stop the heeling? Do you prefer to ease the main out or heave to? Thanks for vid

15. to correct a heel in the moment do you come off the wind and ease the main or jib OR head up into the wind?

16. Brilliant video, i have had the same argument with my brother, less sail in strong winds = happy crew and you actually will sail faster over course. I have found the same in my sailing dingy.

17. Top notch videos! Thanks

18. Great explanation! I would only add that in my opinion, the altered shape of the submerged part of the hull is only a minor contributing factor of the weather helm, and that the main reason is the center of effort of the sails being moved to the leeward side of the heeling boat. Traditionally, people think about the center of effort and its front-back position with respect to the lateral component of the sails' force (in relation to the lateral projection of the submerged hull), but the same applies the lateral position of the center of effort with respect to the forward component of the sails' force (and the frontal projection of the submerged hull). When the boat heels, the center of effort (where the sails are pulling forward), moves to the leeward side, while the point where the drag force pushes the hull back moves only little. This creates a noticeable distance between the two forces resulting in a windward turning moment.

19. Thank you , 👩‍✈️ for explaining the concept so clear!
    Love your channel 👍👍👍

20. Hi Marco. Just wanted to let you know that we have linked this video in ours. You did a very nice job and we think it will benefit our students in helping to understand heeling. Cheers, Capt. David

21. Well, yes! Very well done!

22. Thank you so much for these videos. I'm a Sail Canada student in Ontario and have found your content supplements the syllabus well. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon your Youtube page. I especially appreciate that you've made show notes available for download for many videos as I've been taking notes. I found the diagrams for this lecture quite helpful and would love if they were made available on the show notes site as well, along with the infographics from the Tide Tables video. Thanks again!
