Sail Faster Sail Safer: How to avoid and get out of a broach when sailing downwind

when in doubt, let it out!

Wrong order.
Whether people have gained experience or new to the game, the first thing to ease is the spinnaker.
If your game is on the main is properly trimmed, therefore the vang is eased.
The main trimmer should be busy in keeping the main from too much backwinding as speed increases.
When we are racing it goes in that order, even single handing.
With an experienced crew, the driver should rarely make adjustments for trim. Feeling the boat, the spinnaker trimmer is responsible for keeping the boat on its feet and the vang trimmer accelerates the boat through the waves.
Working as a team, a cadence is maintained through the puffs and waves that realizes increased speed and a smooth ride.

Lunch mistake plan merely responsible toe.

i am learning to sail past 5 years ,i work . cannot spend weeks at sea .done 3 courses .got competent crew and shorebased dayskipper . these videos are a waste of time because presenter is a professional sailor . i own my own boat beneteau 36.need training that is understandable to a learner . if you understand the video you probably dont need to watch it

Friend, avoid spinnakers on a long trip. They are not worth the risk.

When Pip is saying to ease , does this mean to turn the boat leeward ..

what kind of boat is that?

what's a kicker?

What kind of boat is this? Its really steaming for how small it is!

God, this is just fucking common sense, not some grand epistle!

get people who speak American English

subtitles needed for aussi lady....good info though....watch Kevin Costner in the movie Waterworld...muto uses the centerboard as a rudder....trims the sails...and uses his body to gain advantage over the "smokers".

Pip has got a quiet confidence that is assuring....  Where does she teach, any web sites links? thanks...

this is interesting. if a boat is overpowered it is desirable to flatten sails by tensioning the vang. but to avoid a broach release the vang. very interesting

This is a great video. I find that on boats with a larger main sail, releasing the vang lets out enough pressure to derail most broaches. Also, on more severe broaches, the boom will hit the water, tighten the main, counter-effects the release of the main sail and make it harder to get out of the broach. Letting go of the vang, will allow the boom to raise as it hits the water and help recovery. It can also save your boom from snapping where the vang in anchored. The first thing that needs to go is the vang.

What is the kicker, I dont understand your jargon.
