5.3 Leaving the Beach

The easiest way to get going is for the helm to hop aboard while the crew

holds the boat. The helm should push gently on the tiller to lower some of the

rudder blade. Then, s/he may instruct the crew to push the bow off the wind

and climb in.

The singlehanded sailor may choose to ask someone to help them to launch.

If launching alone, stand in the water alongside the gunwhale, holding the

boat head to wind. Lower part of rudder, and then push the bow off the wind

while hopping in.

As soon the water is deep enough, make sure that you lower the rudder

blade fully by pushing back and down on the tiller. You will know it is fully

down if you feel a gentle “thud” as the front face of the blade hits the front face

of the stock.. Pull the sail in and you are away!

For the best performance, you should ensure that you and your crew position

yourselves so that the boat is sailing through the water as flat as possible.

Watch the trim (fore and aft) and the heel. The boat should always be sailed

as upright as possible.

Top Tip

As a general rule, sit further forward in lighter winds and further aft in stronger

breezes.

Top Tip

If you are using the jib, pulling this sail in as you leave the beach will
ensure that the bow continues to swing away from the direction that the
wind is blowing from.
