  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
