Episode 10 - Series Final - Basic Rules of Sailing
<p>In this final episode, we look at the basic rules of sailing. Having consistent rules to follow for all sailors helps prevent accidents. The reason we have rules for sailing is so that the other knows how you will respond, unlike driving, there are no signs or road markings. Sailing rules are pretty similar around the world, however, please check locally.</p> <p>You should now be familiar with port and starboard tacks on a boat. If the wind is blowing over your port side first then you are on port tack. If is blowing over your starboard side then you are on starboard tack. Port is the left side of the boat and starboard the right.</p> <p>Rule 1 - Avoid accidents</p> <p>Rule 2 - Power gives way to sail, but don't be stupid about this</p> <p>Rule 3 - Port tack boats give way to starboard, if you are on the same tack, i.e. both on port tack or both on starboard tack, then see Rule 4.</p> <p>Rule 4 - Windward (Upwind) boats must keep clear of Leeward (Downwind) boats</p> <p>That’s it for this series, I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to say thank you by buying me a coffee at <a href="http://www.buymeacoffee.com/learntosail">buymeacoffee.com/learntosail</a></p> <p>If you do buy me a coffee then I will send you some audio guides that you can take on the water to listen on an mp3 player which will make it super easy for you to practice your tacking, gybing and how to get out of the dreaded irons when you are stuck head to wind. These will be recorded soon.</p> <p><br></p>

Episode 9 - Gybing an Aft Main Boat
<p>I hope you are enjoying the lessons so far. Thank you to everyone that has brought me a coffee to date, very much appreciated.</p> <p>In this episode, we talk about Gybing a AftMain Boat. Gybing is where you change direction from one tack to another when heading away / downwind.</p> <p>Things to remember:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Communicate with your crew, keep them and yourself safe as the boom traveling across can hurt if it hits you. Also, be careful of other boats around you, if you are too close then your boom could hit them. </strong></li> <li><strong>When you're sailing downwind, slowing down means sheeting in the main sail, not letting it out. Doing this can save you if you start the 'death roll'. </strong></li> <li><strong>When you turn the boat to gybe, then there is nothing wrong with helping the boom over, grab the kicker, and give it a pull. As soon as the boom passes the middle of the boat, get your body on the opposite side and keep the boat flat.</strong></li> <li>A gybe on an aft main boat is very similar to a tack, you swap your hands before you change direction, you move across the boat looking towards the back.</li> </ul> <p>Practice on shore as much as you can before heading out on the water.</p> <p>If you enjoy this podcast series then please feel free to visit <a href="//www.buymeacoffee.com/Learntosail">www.buymeacoffee.com/Learntosail</a> to say thanks.</p>
