How to sail videos, part 2 - Paul Cronin Studios

Last weeks post Carol went over some of the lingo used in sailing. This week Carol Newman Cronin will show you how to find out where the wind is coming from. And the basics of how to trim your sails.

Wind direction — Carol showing what Head To Wind looks like with Matsya.

In these videos we used Carol’s 1938, 21 foot Herreshoff Marlin, Matsya to demonstrate. Matsya is a beautiful classic boat that sails well and is very comfortable. Being wood she is a labor of love. Carol purchased her from the previous owner after she had a major rebuild at MP&G.

Trimming sails — Carol sailing Matsya upwind in a south west seabreeze.
