Day Skipper: Day 3

Koya

We had a lot of practice understanding the point of sail while practicing picking up the mooring buoy on sails and man overboard. We also did triangular point of sail which helped me a lot understanding the wind. We ended the day with Liam showing his mad dingy rowing skill 💯

Day 3 of the guys Day Skipper. I’m just along for the ride but had lots of fun today! Did some great skills under sail - On and off of buoys etc. got a better appreciation of checking that you can de-power the main - And how to adjust your course if you can’t. Spill and fill is great to control your speed on the approach. Remember: - Close hauled on the headsail, main sheet off, kicker off when putting in or taking out Reef - Beam reach when putting in / taking out headsail. - When sailing onto a bouy, sail into tide. If wind is behind the beam use headsail if forward use main.
