Thanks John,

It has taken some trial and error to work out how to teach and talk about it. Happily I regularly do coaching with raw beginners at the sailing club here.

Much nicer to go straight to the same methods as top level sailors … rather than create roadblocks by introducing the traditional ineffective methods to small boat sailors.

Thanks for your kind words.

Michael

Welcome John,

It has taken some time to hone this approach with regular teaching. It certainly is much much easier to teach than the old “push tiller and luff up” method.

Thanks for the kind comment!
