5. SAILING HINTS
5.1 Introduction
The RS Cat 16 is a very rewarding boat to sail – to fully appreciate its
handling, you should be comfortable with the basic techniques of sailing small
catamaran. If you lack confidence or feel that a refresher is in order, there are
many approved sailing schools which use the RS cat 16. See www.rya.org.uk
for more information, or follow the link from www.rssailing.com to find your
local RS Academy.
While we offer you a few hints to aid your enjoyment of your new boat, they
should not be considered as a substitute for an approved course in dinghy
sailing. In order to build your confidence and familiarise yourself with your new
boat, we recommend that you choose a fairly quiet day with a steady wind for
your first outing.
5.2 Launching.
Before launching you must read the owners
manual.
With the sails fully hoisted, attach the rudders to the transom. The boat should
be wheeled into the water, keeping it head to wind as far as possible. If you
have a crew, s/he can hold the boat head to wind whilst the trolley is stowed
ashore.
TOP TIP
If the tide is coming in as you launch, make sure that you leave the
trolley far enough up the beach that it will not be swept away.
