Wind shifts while starting

Ever had your carefully planned approach ruined by a last-minute wind shift while starting? Wind shifts affect your time and distance to the line, your ability to get clear air, and your ability to defend against other boats. The quicker you can assess the situation and react, the better off you’ll be.
In this video, Roble / Shea Sailing discuss wind shifts while starting. This video is an excerpt from the Roble / Shea ILYA Fast Forward seminars. Read more about wind shifts while starting in our post on SailZing.com. sailzing.com/wind-shifts-whil...

Would be great to see a video explaining the effects of land on the wind, i.e. how does wind bend around the mouth of a cove, how does a land lift / header work, etc?

Thanks for the suggestion. It may take us a while to put this together, but stay tuned.
