Evening Sail on Elise - sailing class



Thanks Serge for taking the video!

We can clearly see a couple of gybes, Seth's heroic efforts on the foredeck, me appearing out of nowhere :-)

Nice work everyone - conditions were tough! The waves make it really hard to steer any boat and Elise is a light boat that is very responsive and sensitive to any small change in wind velocity, direction, tiller movement, etc... (as opposed to say a big fat stable cruising boat) which means that driving requires constant attention!!

Here's the point to the helpful slideshow about points of sail and sail trim. Nicely done
