The Drop – Action 6

Key points:

  • Aim to be close hauled as you pass the mark by sailing a smooth arc
  • Crew finishes dropping kite and tidies the sheets if possible


Helm

Concentrate on steering the boat through a smooth arc. Aim to be close hauled just as you round the mark.

Balance the boat by moving on the wire.

Crew

Completely finish the drop so the kite is all the way into the sock.

If you have time tidy the kite sheets into the boat.
