Performance Catamaran Tips and Tricks - Sailing by Feel

In this video, we explore how to sail by feel—using sight, sound and movement to understand what the boat is telling you without relying solely on the instruments. Topics include: • Feeling changes in acceleration and boat motion • Listening to the sails, rigging and water moving past the hulls • Watching sail shape, telltales and the surrounding water • Recognizing changes in wind strength and direction • Noticing when the boat feels overpowered or unbalanced • Connecting sensory observations with the instrument data • Developing a more natural understanding of sail trim and steering Instruments provide valuable information, but awareness begins with the boat itself. Learning to notice small changes in sound, movement and pressure helps you respond earlier and sail more smoothly. Learn more about Outer Passage: https://outer-passage.com
