Episode 5 - Centre and Aft Main Sailing Boats

This is going to be a short episode. In this episode we are just going to quickly look at the difference between centre main and aft main boats. Why is this important? Because how you tack the boat, and the motions that you go through depending on what type of boat you are sailing. If you already know what type your boat is then just skip to the right episode. If you don’t have a boat but are planning on buying something old and wooden, then the best bet is to pick Aft Main, if you are planning on buying something more modern or intend to learn at a training centre, pick centre main. If you don’t have any idea, pick centre main.
