Tips: Don’t run at a broad reach until the man is near even with the mast. Head up sooner while the man is at 1-2 o clock or 10-11 o clock, to avoid running into irons too soon. Keep the man 1.5 boat lengths to windward in low wind, 3 boat lengths to windward in high wind on approach. Then make a hard turn into irons as you blow the foresail to end up in irons.

Good MOB practice while cruising perfect weather with light wind. Tide: Hi = 4:30pm 5:30 coming in 6:30 stop coming in 7:00 slack 7:30 start going out 8:30 going out Lo = 11:15pm Wind: 5pm = 4(5) S 6pm = 5(6) SE 7pm = 6(8) SE 8pm = 8(10) SE Weather: Clear

First sail captaining start to finish. Strong incoming tide, consistent mid strength south to north winds.
