I find the presentation style perfectly fine. Sail trim is a convoluted subject that's super difficult to explain well, but I've learned a lot from this talk. My only regret was that the rig model behind Ian isn't used at all. I reckon it might have been pretty helpful as an aid.

Fantastic thanks. I always feel like I know nothing when I take the time to learn how to sail properly.

Really informative! I loved being able to visualize everything! <br>Not gonna lie, though, I laughed my butt off when he said mainshit! 😂 <br>“Harden the mainshit!”<br>“But Captain, I already did just 30 minutes ago”
