In this video, we break down key sailing techniques for the Ideal 18, focusing on both upwind performance and downwind sailing with the spinnaker. Small adjustments make a big difference on this boat, and we’ll show you exactly where to focus. 🔹 Downwind with Spinnaker Learn how to set up and fine-tune the spinnaker for maximum speed and control, including: • Spinnaker pole height – how high is too high, and how low slows you down • Heel angle – finding the sweet spot between power and control • Boom position – keeping the main working with the spinnaker, not against it • Sheeting angles – trimming for pressure, stability, and VMG 🔹 Upwind Trim & Technique We also cover upwind fundamentals specific to the Ideal 18, including: • Proper heel angle for groove and pointing • Boom position and mainsheet trim to balance power and height • How small changes in sheeting angle affect speed through the water Whether you’re racing, coaching, or just trying to make the boat easier to sail, these techniques will help you sail the Ideal 18 faster, smoother, and with more confidence. 📌 Who this video is for: • Ideal 18 sailors • One-design racers • Sailing instructors and coaches • Anyone looking to refine trim and boat handling fundamentals 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and check out our other sailing technique videos for more deep dives into boat speed and race performance.
