The Tack – Action 12

Key points:

  • Crew hooks on while holding their body straight

Helm

Fully extend yourself on the wire.

Focus on the jib tell tales and balance of the boat with the mainsheet.

Crew

You can now hook on!

Use your hand with the jib sheet in to grab the ring and pull it to your hook. Don’t move your hips in towards the ring. Keep your body straight for maximum leverage.

Be careful not to drop the jib sheet at this point.
