Another tip when your shorthanded is to over sheet the jib and under sheet the main. The boat will self steer upwind while you attend to other matters.

I think your boom is a bit low hence the smack in the face. to stop it dropping into the cockpit like that try putting an old towel in the leech then rolling the boom, the extra diameter gained will lift the boom at that end.

Really enjoyed that. I think though you’d find it easier if you relax a bit, take your time, sort out the mainsail first, it’ll be easier.

Brilliant .. I was same age as you when I thought a Hurley 22 was so very high tech. Dreaming of the day I would get one for myself - 55 years ago, maybe more. Sailing is amazing now, no more Swallows & Amazons but science and engineering. I think you said you wanted this for your future - Ocean Racer or Naval Architect ? I think working with ships and boats is one of the more solid life paths. Totally worthwhile.
Next stop = your own J Boat.

All boat handling is thinking ahead and having a basic plan in your head. Practice your turning circles and get to know exactly the distances involved. Practice stopping the boat and get to know the distances involved. Don't think engine .. think wind and waves and current - use them all. Speed is the factor that gets you into trouble. Learn how to make the boat go as fast as possible but make certain you know exactly how to slow down and stop. Soon enough it's second nature.
The rudder is your brake.
Lots of fun and laughter mister.

Nestor is your name? Very old and rare slavic/russian name, no late XVII

She sails well, very like a Hurley 22 in design, probably the 22 was a scaled up 18. Is your mooring just off Bembridge harbour? Pretty exposed out there. Cheers. Andy UK

Great adventure, well done.
Perhaps I could suggest that you overdub your voice when you edit your video clips. This way you can get the sailing footage without worrying about what to say and then add your comments afterwards, like you add music. And so no excessive wind noise.

Yes great to see , you just have to take a deep breath and go for it as that is the way to learn.
