Wondering basically how to sail. I may seem stupid but I am completely serious. I have tried YouTube videos but mostly they just use a bunch of complicated terms that I don’t understand. Like, main sheet. I honestly am struggling. Thanks In advance
Tag’s pamphlet is great! For dinghy sailing, that’s probably all you need to get started.
While it covers more than just the basics and dinghy sailing, I recommend ASA’s 101 book - Sailing Made Easy. It covers everything in the ASA 101 basic sailing course.
The ASA Sailing Made Easy Textbook 101 is a comprehensive learn-to-sail overview and the official textbook for ASA's keelboat certification (Level 101).
