The Hoist – Action 10


Key points:

  • Trim the sails correctly for downwind leg
  • Flatten the boat by bearing away after the extra power of the kite has come on
  • Move along the racks to get the bow just kissing the water


Helm

Fully extend on the wire and let yourself down if needed.

Balance the boat flat by steering.

Once steady move your foot out of the foot strap and move forward to get the bow so it just skims the water.

Crew

Concentrate on playing the kite correctly as the speed increases and the apparent wind comes on.

Let yourself down on the wire if needed. Try to keep just below the helm so he can see.
