Tacking tips
1. Make sure you are going fast and not pinching while you approach your tack.
2. Get ready to tack and let your rudder guide itself over so you do not over steer.
3. Right when the front part of your sail starts to bubble you ooch your body weight out allowing your boat to roll.
4. While you are leaning out you want to over trim your sail so you head up into the wind more while rolling your knees forward.
5. Next you want to let out your sail so it powers up.
6. Jump across the boat while putting one hand on the daggerboard trunk and one hand on the windward rail.
7. Try to land far forward with your knees facing forward and as you are flattening trim your sail back in to power it up.
8. Switch your hands while keeping your boat flat and keeping your sail full.
Finally your tack has been fully approached correctly.
