1. Helm
•
Look around to know where mark is and which
boats will have rights or give room.
•
Bring bow down the required amount for the
conditions.
•
Look for the mark again and work out which boats
to steer around.
•
Execute a nice wide-and-tight turn, trying not to
park the boat up but let it accelerate into and out
of the turn.
2. Tactician
•
Communicate type of drop exit and the plan out of
the mark.
•
Count down the drop.
•
If not going to left (port) turn, wind runner up
before mark to be about 80-90 percent tension.
•
If jibing, ease runner off or bring on new runner. In
light air, do both runners.
3. Main
•
Set up main for the beat.
•
Have both mainsheet winches ready to be ground in.
4. Trimmer
•
Ease spinnaker sheet at the count of 2, then stand
by to overhaul sheets out of the water.
•
Load jib onto winch and prepare to trim on or jibe
the jib.
•
Move up to windward side and load new sheet.
•
Start talking with helm about feel and speed/
angles to sail.
5. Trim #2
•
Pull pole in on Bow’s call.
•
Get tail of jib sheet to tail in for Trimmer while
hitting the rail
6. Pit
•
Set up outhaul and cunningham.
•
Make sure jib halyard is at its mark for the beat.
•
Blow the halyard (first) and tack jammer (second)
on the drop call.
•
Follow the drop and be ready to check the halyard
on the way down.
•
If needed, go forward and lift clew over the life lines.
•
Once clean and clear, hit the rail with vang in hand.
7. Mast
•
Stand in cockpit with feet on back of
companionway, ready to pull chute down with
string line. Pull out all slack as countdown
happens. Once chute is all the way in, throw string
line forward to front of cockpit and hit the rail.
8. Bow
•
Be on your feet and able to move around the
hatch.
•
Make sure string line is clear to go.
•
Open hatch and make sure lazy sheet is over hatch
and set up for the drop.
•
Be ready to start pulling on string line until cloth of
sail is reached, then work tack inside and under the
jib, then work the clew and head while going up
the sail stuffing all parts down as it’s pulled in.
•
Clean up and close hatch; check to see if jib needs
skirting.
•
Hit the rail and start hiking. You need to wait until
first tack to clear halyard and move it to the clip
(which is at base of mast or chainplates).
9. Floater
•
When windy, stay back and help set up the
runners.
•
If jibing to mark, release old runner or bring on
new runner.
•
Hit the rail and start hiking.
Windward Drop
As it gets windier this drop becomes your safer drop, but
a dial-down of the bow is still important to help stand
the boat up and limit the load. The countdown “5, 4, 3,
2, 1, drop!” becomes vital for the Helm, Trimmer and Pit.
The Mast will be taking up tension on the takedown
string line to beat the whole drop process. On the “3,”
the bow comes down, on “2,” the sheet is eased, then a
combination of tack (first) and halyard (second) at the
drop call. With the countdown at 1, start to open the
jammer (clutch), ready for the drop call.
