Updated information

All:

I've uploaded two informative links on the sidebar to the right: one on roll taking and the other on jibing.  If you're a skipper you should know something of these techniques already. If you're a crew, note carefully the body movements (weight transfer) and the timing of transferring the jib sheet to the new side. We'll be practicing these a lot the first week.

The other common drill we will use is a stop/go drill. This is especially useful when maneuvering before the start.

I expect to get full approval to use the sailing center from the Base legal folks soon, but as a stand-by option, please send me an e-mail with a subject line: SAILING and indicate your name and whether you are a military dependent (have access to the base with an ID card.) Also, it would be helpful if you give a brief summary of your experience - critical for skippers, not so much for crews.

More later!
