Any specific reason for this rule? What’s the logic behind it?

This does not make sense to me, on windfoiling the maximum speed you get when you are going 45-90 deg, but the maximum power you get when starting at 120-160. That's why wind-foiling in low conditions people start at 130 degrees and after getting the maximum of this speed, they turn to go upwind eg 90-45 degrees.

Amazing how the lazy line magically tightened itself.

Shame about the damage to the boat when he touched to dock

The angle of attack is more a function of pulling the sheet. I would think that changing the twist is changing the camber of the airfoil until it starts spilling air. Angle of attack is the angle between the chord line and the relative wind.

This looks terrific but I did start to get a bit queasy with all the camera movement. Are all the classes like that? Not criticizing, just asking.

Beautiful St.Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨❤️

Very slick!

Have you done similar for the yacht?

The reason his boat looks like that is someone has not taught him what a fender is, maybe he should work on that aspect first

Me too 👍

Where are the fenders?

Pretty good

Apparent wind has zero velocityua-cam.com/video/azNTzkPhx1s/v-deo.htmlsi=Ml27UxOdkDaDKmVF

This boat speed upwind goes from 5kts to 8kts when the breeze goes from 10kt to 20 kts true? What kind of boat is it?

Thanks for putting up this video. I am trying to digest the concept of VMG and this helps relate it to apparent wind.

The reason why is the same as to when driving uphill the driver who goes downhill gives way to those climbing. Ship that is going upwind cannot easily change course due to their dependency on the wind, while those going downwind can change course safely without risking to stall

Not one fender down? That’s a charter boat for sure 🤣🤣🤣

I'd like to hear it, if it makes sound.

'PromoSM'

Grant, that was great! I encourage you to do another, delving into the traveler and the vang....

Any chance of releasing this simulator for at home use?

how did the simulation start? Were you parallel to the dock and then somehow became perpendicular? I need to learn how to get off of a dock when the wind is blowing abeam against the dock.

Sheeze... Please keep the movements of the headset to the minimum... it's really hard to follow when the image is jumping around so frequently.

You sound levels are so low that closed captioning is required, which rather defeats the object of a video. I can read the book! The concept is worth exploring (VR Education), but the execution needs work.

What is the point of saying 'this way', 'that way' when you are not even showing the wheel! What ever happened to port/starboard? Pretty rubbish really, which is a shame as I thought it would be very useful

The point is that we are teaching HOW to do it in real life. Practicing in VR just like pilots do saves dings scraps and accidents. Yes do it in real life - practice like pilots in VR.

do it real life, not animated would be better

best video

Top notch team! Super appreciate Lauren’s help with all our charters!

Great tip! I always see wrecked boats at one area near where i live. The channel turns from going down wind to straight upwind. I think people end up trying to tack in the narrow channel and get pushed back straight onto a sand bar.

Very informative

There is a notable word track that the poster used here (at 1:15) when he spoke of removing twist by tightening the boom vang. He said we are "pulling the boom down". This is important (especially for those new to sailing) because the amount of twist is directly related to your boom height (or up/down angle). And you control boom height either with boom vang (when the boom is out) or traveller and main sheet (when the boom is in over the traveller).

Great video, thanks. Can you comment on how to read the apparent wind speed, and not just the angle, from the wind triangles?

Hey wheres that awesome music from?

Kind of perfect conditions guys, for the purpose of demonstration, it was very clear. I think we all know that that chances of getting perfect conditions each time just does not happen. Possibly a follow on to this video would be something more commonly found i.e when your trying to do this manoeuvre where there is a boat both bow and stern or if the system would work going into a finger pontoon rather than a hammerhead. Still thanks for posting, appreciated !

video image digital part panning is too fast and restless, I didn't want to look

video image panning is too fast, I didn't want to look

I have never seen it so clear, thank you!

Really cool so glad I have found your site. Yet on this video and others it would be sooo much help if you'd show what you are using to make the changes? show on the screen where you are touching what you are realing on ? you say move it this way and that way yet I don't know what you are using to do the changes

Yes. The apparent wind is the only wind you and the boat feel. Just like putting your hand out the window of a moving car.

When I put my face into the wind, close my eyes, and turn my head to "equalize" the wind sound in my ears, I'm facing into the apparent wind?

Think I just had same issue trying to go bow in

Like these videos

What VR program is this?

Ummmmm fenders, mate? Also, fine and dandy when there is a cleat, but useless when there is only a bull rail (as many docks here have)…

Are there options for trimming with traveler, outhaul, vang?

This is a great video. How does it have 39 views and 1300 likes?

What is the name of this online game?
