Didn’t stuff anything. I seen only toady, sailors with 30plus years experience, bump two boats trying to dock. Every mistake you think you make has been made by experienced sailors. I’m sailing 3 years, I see every it ever week. So the next time you don’t get it first time, remember there’s someone watching, saying thank folk I’m not the only one that did that.

ROLL THINTRO
Well done, great achievement!
Keep up your reading, learning and sail training the more you practice the easier and more effective your skills will become. If your staying on the long pontoon for a bit, keep practicing, you’ll get to be faster and most importantly be safer for it.
One of the most important lessons to learn on a yacht of any size, is how to “Heave To” ….. I.e. stop the boat!
it’s very simple to do and buys you time to rest, sort a problem out etc.
Yachts can respond differently when you Heave to, based on size, amount of canvas up, wind and tide, keel type etc etc, it would be good for you to know how to do it as an” instant second nature thing” or as you would say thingy
Really enjoying your vids and being with you on your journey

You're doing well. What happens when you get to the experienced sailor stage, does the channel name change? I owned an Invicta 26, similar to the Contessa. It had a Quantock QME plywood windvane, steered me maybe 2000 miles. Happy sailing.

Wahoo! Loving your channel. I too bought a boat (last summer) with no experience at all( probably less knowledge than you)BUT I’m doing it. Still not ready to do it in my own but your vids are adding to my motivation. Thanks

Just love watching your progress, but I feel so nervous for you at times. You're a brave guy. Take care, good luck and good sailing

15:40 pull on some kicking strap to take out most (not all) of that of that massive twist in the mainsail then let the boom out.

You are doing great! Totland to Weymouth is quite a passage for a coastal sailor just starting out! With regard to the main. It is possible to raise it when sailing downwind although not ideal. Go on broad to beam reach ‘bream reach’ Topping lift on. Kicker right off. Trice the boom up high (25 degrees at least). This will de power the sail as you raise it. You might get the whole thing raised if you are lucky but even if only part will be better than nothing. You could also see if she will heave to by backing the jib and lashing the boom to leeward temporarily. It might calm the motion sufficiently for you to get some main up using same method just described. Be careful though as being on deck in rolly conditions offshore is risky and requires vigilance. If in ANY doubt don’t do it. Really liking the videos thanks 🙂
