  3. Jib Halyard Traveler Jib sheets Mainsail Halyard Cunningham (downhaul) Outhaul Boom-vang Main sheets Traveler (not avail. on Scot’s) Centerboard (guidelines only) All the way down Half-way up Up, but not ALL the way! (Why ?) Rudder Initiates course changes Allows tacking to occur Luff (also raises the sail) Foot (High=>aft, Low=>forward) Leach, slot effect, point of sail, tacking, back-winding, etc. Luff (also raises the sail) Sail draft (& Luff when sails age) Foot Leach and sail twist Point of sail, tacking (with rudder) Mainsail power ‘governor’ Close hauled to beam reach Broad reach … or so Running CAUTION when rounding the leeward mark to windward! => Capsize drill A balanced boat has ‘neutral’ helm Enables boat momentum to complete tacking process Sailing Adjustments

  4. Nice-to-know Sailing Phrases • Windward Side toward the wind (defines tack) • Leeward Side away from wind • Stalling Point of sail to ‘low’ (or ‘off’) to wind • Head up Steer more toward the wind • Pinching Point of sail to ‘high’ (or ‘on’) to wind • Fall off Steer more away from the wind • Trim Tighten or pull in • Ease Loosen or let out • Free that … Un-cleat, untie, undo, de-tangle, etc. • Secure that … Tie down, stop it moving • Stow that … Get it out of the way • Back-wind the … Enable wind to push on the ‘back’ of sail • Fend off Keep boat from hitting another object; boat, buoy, dock, piling, pier, bridge, etc. Usually by using an oar, boat hook, fender cushion, or hand, etc. NOTE: NEVER, EVER put ANY part of your body between the BOAT and the OBJECT’s point-of-contact when you are fending off! Period. i.e. NEVER sit on the bow and use you legs to stop the boat at the dock.

  5. Right-of Way Summary • Starboard tack over port tack • Leeward boat over windward boat • Boat being overtaken (passed) over the passing boat • Last and certainly LEAST • Boats under sail over boats under power – NOTE: sailboats under power are considered power boats! • Exceptions – boats without maneuverability to comply with right-of-way guidelines

  8. Helmsman Command “Ready About” “Helm to Lee” Adjust tiller for point of sail 90 deg. course change Crew Response “Ready” Free jib sheet (but still hold fast) Release jib sheet when head to wind Sit to windward Trim sheet after bow passes through the wind Tacking (Coming about) Sequence

  9. Jibe Sequence • Helmsman Command • “Prepare to jibe” • “Jibe Ho” • Adjust tiller for point of sail • 20 -30 deg. course change • Crew Response • “Ready” • Free jib sheet (but still hold fast) • Release jib sheet as boom swings over • Shift weight as needed • Trim opposite sheet after through the wind

  10. Man Overboard Sailing Downwind • Yell “Man Overboard” • Throw Flotation Device • Assign someone to watch person and point • Then, … (1), (2), & (3) 1. Head up to a beam reach 2. Tack Help!!! 3. Head downwind of person in the water 2 Boat Lengths Wind

  11. Man Overboard Sailing to Windward • Yell “Man Overboard” • Throw Flotation Device • Assign someone to watch person and point • Then, … (1), (2), & (3) Wind 1. Fall-off to a beam reach 2. Tack Help!!! 3. Head downwind of person in the water 2 Boat Lengths
