(revised 24 April 2008) This article has twice appeared in the now defunct Whiffle newsletter, but I feel that it is worth posting since it can remind all of us about a few essentials! Until Tim
France and Don Davis
invited me to speak at a Guelph Seminar, I had always considered that I
was mostly coaching the few that race. For my talk with day sailors and
cruisers, I re-discovered some basics and a few little tricks that I
have
picked up over my fifty plus years of sailing and racing. In my
experience,
these are every bit as useful to those who simply sail, as they are
vital
to the racers.
I will deal with these main topics: 1. the why
and how of setting your sails properly
