This is a collection of videos of heavy weather sailing – the links are to YouTube entries.
I am full of admiration for the crew who decided to get the video camera out in these conditions – I suspect that if it had been me I would have had other things on my mind !
This clip is a training video from Bennet Marine … its an introduction to some of the things you need to consider if you find yourself in force 8 and above ;-)..
If you want to understand weather helm and lee helm one of the clearest explanations I have seen is on John Ellsworth's web site here…and also on the BoatUS site here … >…and some info on sail trim at Northsails site here
Please be patient there are quite a few clips and they take about 30 secs to load up…..
