ADMIN NOTES

• What did we learn about 1-5-6?
  • Gaps
  • keep the 1 till mark 4 (this never happened)
  • boats that are deep approach mark 4 NOT overlapped, but slow early and speed up late
  • a really good 2-3-4 team should get around mark 3 in a 2-3-4

PRACTICE

• Warm-ups…focus practice 2 (sail trim), do a few pigs in middle
• 420’s some 2 on 2’s, more sail-trim practice.
• Black vs. Red Mark 1 Match Race-to team-race Drill (one boat starts on port at the pin, the other at the boat end on starboard. both should be on/near layline to mark 1. then have at it. Next two boats then follow suit… then the final two
• if wind comes up a few races with everyone
