Controlling sailors on water - bearing away


Hereby you can see a trick how to controll your sailors on water.

 

In the previous tipps you could see the "just go" and the "tack and go" controlling technique. Of course it isn't a surprise that possible to go also in downwind. So you just have to give the order the first one in a row, he/she will pass to the next one, so everyone will now what will be the next exercise. Just whistle one, use your arm to show the directions..and sailors will bear away and you can begin the analaysing of their downwind technique.

Don't forget, that these kind of controlling technique, that the sailors staying in a line behind the rubberboat and they doing what you telling them is limitless.
