An excellent instructional video for anyone wanting to learn about downwind sail trim. Shayne has a gift for making a complex topic simple and easy to understand. Make sure you take some time to watch this video even if you already know how to trim your sails, it’s worthwhile listening to what a professional sailor has to say on the topic.
