Lesson # 3
Trevor’s comments:

• Only one person leaves the rail…prefeeding the tack and helping the chute go up the middle of the boat
• Chute always comes out the bag.
• Do not leave the rail until boat flattens (especially if pinching to the mark)
• No panic, no rush
• Halyard and pole out happen together
• Jib trim (amount that it is eased) is important

Douse:

• Get hands on the foot of the sail, then halyard
• Sail trim needs to match the turning angle (don’t trim in too early)
• Tactitian helps with mainsheet
• Looks like most boats release tack line and halyard once the gather has begun – deal with the pole later.
