Sailing - At Last!

So now you've had a coffee break, enjoyed the view for a while and are getting used to a world that's constantly going up and down, it's time to start learning about - not pinching?, running? and all the bits in between?

The essence of sailing a boat of any size and shape is wind awareness. A good sailor is always conscious of the wind direction in relation to the boat and how the boat is being affected by changes in wind direction or speed. Some people have this wind awareness intuitively, others have to work hard at gaining a true feel for it. It is a skill however which everyone can develop and improve upon with training and effort.
