MAST ADJUSTMENT
A sailboat can be set up so that it has a tendency to either turn into
the wind (weather helm) or out of the wind (lee helm). Both properties
can be changed by adjusting the rigging. It is suggested to adjust for
a "weather helm" condition.

SAILING FUNDAMENTALS
When heading for point B have the rudder in
neutral position and set the sails
perpendicular to the wind.
Slowly move the rudder to the left and
maintain sail position.
When heading towards point C, adjust sails
and rudder similar to 1.
Steer hard left and close the sails at the
same time.
Return rudder to neutral and adjust sails
slowly to avoid "sail shiver."
Proceed into the wind towards point A by
tacking (zigzagging). Continue operating
sails slowly to avoid shivering.
Continue the same procedure as step 6, then
steer around point A and return to step 1.

WIND
DIRECTION
The closest possible heading into the
wind is a little over 45° to either side of the wind.
Any closer and the sails will "shiver" or flap.
