OPTIMIST SAILING - How To Feather Upwind | [Heavy Conditions]

Feathering is a technique used to sail upwind. It involves using the heel of the boat to maintain its balance. So during windy conditions, lighter sailors (with weight range less than 40kg) can use the leeward heel to point up in the gusts. In this video, I show you how to sail upwind for the little guys 'n' gals out there in the breeze! Suggestions? Put them down below in the comments! Good Winds! ?
