Controlling the sailors on water - tack and go
Hereby you can see a trick how to controll your sailors on water.
In the previous tipp you could see the "just go" controlling technique. Now you can see the "tack and go" technique.
As you feel it now, these kind of controlling technique, that the sailors staying in a line behind the rubberboat and they doing what you telling them is limitless. Still I will share with you more of these kind if common controlling techniques.
So let see the "tack and go"...

Why is it good?
- you keep your sailors together
- you can analyse their tacks (this is very important, specially if the startline is out of the straight)
- you can measure their speed and close-hauled limits (seting up the maststep!) to each other
- you can help your sailors to improve more technique, such as:
- luffing
- handling the mainsheet and the rudder
- the hiking technique
