Sailing Instructional Video. Discuss this video and anything sailing on my forum www.anything-sailing.com . Steering a sailboat with the main sail alone, showing the technique and principle behind steering a boat with the main sail, simulating a loss of rudder
Still the best " Learn how to Sail" videos, by a long shot.
And free!!!
Good work. Thank you

The technique you show is working but the explanation should point out the balancing of the strength of the Centers of Effort of the jib and mainsail. This moves the Combined CE fore and aft relative to the Center of Lateral Resistance. The actions are working but it is not described as clearly. (Think of the CLR as the fulcrum on a seesaw and the opposing forces of the Jib and Main as the weights on either side. (Or Scales of Justice, whatever.)
