Ep 44: Coming About Single Handed

Welcome to Episode 44 of Carpe Diem Sailing, in this episode I go over coming about or tacking single handed. I demonstrate the manoeuvre with and without an auto pilot. One point to keep in mind is that I am only dealing with the headsail since when coming about from close hauled to close hauled the mainsail should be sheeted amidships and is self tending. For simplicity in this video the traveler remained centered. If using the traveller to trim the mainsail the traveller is adjusted after the boat is on course and after the headsail is trimmed.
