Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
-
Step 1
Ease out the sheets so the sails catch as much wind as possible.
-
Step 2
Hold the jibsheet out to windward; when the jib fills with wind, you'll receive more power.
-
Step 3
If your boat has a centerboard, raise it to reduce side-to-side rocking.
-
Step 4
Work your way to a broad reach.
-
Step 5
Ease the sheet of each sail until the front edge begins to luff; trim it in until the luffing stops.
-
Step 6
Steer as necessary to stay on course.
