Quick Reference Page 14 Contact [email protected] with questions or comments. **pre-Doyle Mainsail (2013)** I. Crew: At the most basic, you cannot get around the racecourse without a crew. At the highest level of the sport where everyone has the best equipment, crew contribution is the deciding factor. Developing and maintaining an enthusiastic, competent, reliable, and compatible crew is therefore a key area of focus for the racer aspiring to excellent results. Prior to the Class Championship you should have your crew set up, with assigned positions and job responsibilities – well trained in tacking, jibing, roundings and starts. The following may help you set up your program to attract good crew. First, good sailors want to do well. So do everything you can to make sure that you understand how to make the boat go fast and do everything you can to ensure that your boat is in good racing condition (more on these two issues later). If you are a helmsman make sure that your driving skills are developed to your best abilities. Assemble sailors who are better than you or find an enthusiastic non-sailor to train and encourage. Arrange practice time either pre/post-race or on a non-racing day. The right type of crew personality will want to improve performance and the best way to do this is to spend time together in the boat. If your crew does not wish to make the effort to spend time in the boat, cast a wider net.

  • The Safety Position Is a Standard Basic Small Boat Sailing Technique
    SAFETY POSITION Paul Tara, 2014 Definition: The Safety Position is a standard basic small boat sailing technique. It occurs when a boat is borne off onto a close reach, stopped or moving slowly, with the sail eased and luffing. The Safety Position is used to minimize speed while maintaining control. Physics: In the Safety Position, the boat is more or less in equilibrium. Because she is on a close reach, she is out of the “no go zone” where control decreases. Easing the sail reduces speed and heeling force. It also moves the center of effort of the sail plan forward, decreasing weather helm. Control is maintained because the boat is almost stopped, but still in balance, requiring only very small changes in rudder angle and sheet tension to maintain the same relative wind angle. The Safety Position is not, as many believe, when a boat is luffing, headed straight upwind. Such a boat is in disequilibrium. It will eventually stop. Then it will begin making sternway, often with unpredictable consequences. Guidelines: • Beginners are often told to “let go of everything” if things get out of control. This may avert an initial capsize but is not “safe”, especially in close quarters. The boat will immediately go into a series of uncontrolled round-ups and accidental tacks. • After a near capsize, or whenever needing to maximize control, the boat should be deliberately steered onto a close reach and the sail eased until it is luffing. • In breeze, ease the vang and raise the board halfway. This will help the boat settle down.
