UK Sailmakers’ Head Sail Designer Pat Considine uses BSG Development’s FSI sail analysis program to help fine-tune his sail designs. The FSI program works like a virtual wind tunnel allowing Pat to make sure no section of the sail becomes overloaded, allows him to see how the flying shape changes with trim, mast bend, rig tune across a range of wind speeds. The program analyses how all the components of the boat’s rig and sails work together. In this video Pat talks about how he used the program to advance his sail designs for square top mainsails. At the end of the video analyzing the mainsail shape on the Mark Mills designed Cape 31, Pat said, “Anyone who got a square top mainsail design this year benefited from the Cape 31 study. It helped improve the group’s designs for square top mainsails.” This is just one more example of the technical tools UK Sailmakers uses to ensure our customers get the fastest sails possible.

Isn't therapy just about talking? 🤔 While conversation is a key element, therapy goes far beyond just words. It's a safe space for exploration, healing, and self-discovery. It’s about understanding your emotions, breaking down barriers, and learning to cope with life's challenges. Therapy empowers you to reflect on your thoughts and behaviors, fostering personal growth and resilience. So, let’s embrace the journey of self-improvement together—because sometimes, the most profound changes happen when we dig deeper than just talking. 💬✨ #MentalHealthMatters #TherapyJourney

A short clip from our latest release, which looks at basic boat docking. Executing a tight turn in a sailboat is dependent on which way our prop walk affects our control. A prop walk to port means our boat does a tighter turn to starboard, and vice versa. We have a look at how boats behave in close quarters and what to look out for when leaving or approaching a dock. Covers essential topics such as prop walk and steerage, as well as setting up slip lines and bridles.. All in an easy to follow, animated tutorial, created in Blender3D. 👍 Don't forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe for More Adventures! #SailingAdventure #learntosail #sailingtutorials #tutorials #sailinglife #yachtlife #travel #adventure #blender3d #blender #animation https://www.skipperblogs.com/searchingforcoconuts Theme song: (Audio Network) Aotearoa (Mark Williams, Adam Alexander, Bruce Maginnis) For those who wish to contribute to help keep our journey going, please use our Patreon link below, or donate through PayPal (link is on channel banner), much appreciated. https://www.patreon.com/searchingforcoconuts https://searching-for-coconuts.skipperblogs.com/
