Nick, a yacht captain and sailing instructor, runs private two-handed on-board training sessions aboard a Grand Soleil 44 performance yacht.1:49 The session shown focuses on asymmetric spinnaker (jennaker) sailing downwind, with Nick coaching a student named Knut on angle, trim, and apparent wind generation.Watch The core lesson: heading up and trimming in harder on the jennaker lifted boat speed from 5.5 to 7.5 knots, demonstrating how creating boat speed builds apparent wind in a self-reinforcing cycle.1:08 The Grand Soleil 44 carries six cockpit winches, a large furling genoa on genoa cars, and a masthead jennaker; the self-tacking jib option is not fitted.0:24 Nick describes the two-handed setup as manageable in winds up to 15–18 knots and notes the training runs during winter months in Croatia, where anchorages are uncrowded.1:49 The jibe was completed two-handed without incident.1:53 Nick invites prospective students to contact him directly for private instruction.1:58
