Team Race Practice
Today we will do a few boat handling drills all together:

• RS windsprint, tack on whistle, stop/start
• DW gybe, etc.   3 whistles is slow down to a stop if possible, 3 whistles is start up again.
• Practice team races with the double-whistle. during the race, if/when i blow 2 whistles everyone stops. I then call a boat or two to go… then 2 whistles starts it up again.   Red vs. Black, and Blue vs. Green

Notes:

• Please check FJ’s. I drained them early this morning, but please drain them again so that they do NOT sit over there full of water.
• Check your boats…. make sure all is working well.
• EVERY BOAT MUST have a bow-line before sailing today. NO exceptions. If you don’t have a shackle, to attach your bow line, find one. Most of them are bright orange.
• Safety Talk
  • Never leave your boat (when out on the water)
  • Never stand on an overturned hull unless you are doing it to save yourself or a teammate.
  • If conditions ever deteriorate enough to the point where you feel uncomfortable, and I am out of earshot, feel free to begin heading in.
  • ALWAYS stay low in the boat…especially downwind. Never put your body, especially head, in the potential path of the boom.
