A crew participates in a three-day ocean sailing course in Ubatuba, Brazil, led by Captain Spinelli to improve sail trim and boat handling.1:48 The instruction focuses on precision sailing rather than mere efficiency, emphasizing the use of telltales on the genoa to detect wind shifts and maintain optimal airflow.4:01 Spinelli teaches the "1-2-3 rule" for cruising: define the course, trim the genoa, and then trim the mainsail.9:21 He stresses that the helm should remain neutral to minimize drag, with course corrections made by adjusting sail trim rather than the rudder.8:35 The course covers technical maneuvers such as tacking, proper winch handling to avoid line tangles, and the roles of the headsail for speed and the mainsail for power.7:03 Spinelli also advises against relying on the engine for propulsion, noting that a 6-ton vessel requires sail power in heavy conditions.9:00 The training concludes that a skilled navigator anticipates wind changes by monitoring telltales and maintaining a steady course for at least 30 seconds before adjusting trim.11:28
