Sailing Tactics " Where to Start ? "

In this video the Bottom Up Boats team help you understand which end of a sailing starting line is favoured, sharing a simple technique to ensure you are always at the right end of the starting line. The theory behind selecting the right end of any sailing start line works the same for both dinghy's and yachts.
While there are many factors which need to be consider when choosing the right end of a sailing starting line this one is the most important.
If a sailing starting line is not set true to the breeze starting at the right end will put you in front of the fleet before the gun is even fire.
We start with the theory before showing you some footage of team GTR picking the right end of the starting line which got them off to a flying start.
Drop by our website to find more tips to help with your racing, it is a great resource for both dinghy and yacht sailors of all levels.

It can get a little boring bobbing up and down all day with no sails, always good to do one thing a day which gets the heart pumping :)
