Spinnaker Sailing Course

We have good news, the NauticEd Sail Trim course now includes even more. Check it out and learn exactly how to hoist, fly, and douse a spinnaker. Below, we have included an animation embedded into the course so that you can learn the names of the components associated with a spinnaker.

Hover over each of the letters and you will see the name of the item pop up, revealing the correct title. Whether you’re learning the names for the first time, or using the animation to test the knowledge you already have, we hope you find it as helpful and useful as we do.
