The Tack – Action 3

Key points:

  • Don’t rush across the boat
  • Maintain the windward heel

Helm

Maintain the speed of the turn using the rudder as the mainsail starts to flap.

Stand up on the side using the trapeze handle to steady yourself.

Focus on making sure the boat has a slight windward heel to aid the turn.

Crew

Stand up on the side using the trapeze handle to steady yourself.

Don’t rush to cross the boat at this point - you need to wait until the last second and maintain a little windward heel.
