The Hoist – Action 8

Key points:

  • The crew sheets on the kite by crossing the boat
  • Steer up to increase power now the kite is under control
  • Helm starts to move out on wire to keep boat flat


Helm

As the crew gets control of the kite start to head up.

Keep the boat flat by extending on the wire again.

Start to sheet the main back in for the downwind leg.

Crew

Pull the kite in by moving across the boat. This also helps balance the boat as the helm heads up.

Focus on the trapeze ring and hook on.
