lol cheers guys had a bit of a go tonight.. we're fine launching onto a reach and close hauled but we couldn't get the hang of launching onto a run because as soon as the jib pulled the boat round onto the run the main filled and turned us round towards the bank. Has any one got any tips for launching onto a run? |

I would say heel the boat to counteract the way the boat wants to turn. |

The rudder on my contender broke so I taped it up launching was fine just head to wind .Anyway I wasnt very good at sailing it and got too close to the bank and crunch in the weeds ha ha!!!anyway managed to get out again after much cursing and had a nightmare landing aswell needless to say I have now fixed the rudder!!!

Reverse... Sail out backwards with no rudder - you can use the jib for drive and the main to steer. Once you are far enough out, put the rudder on and away you go. |

you can hold the rudder stock and steer with the blade tip(so it does not load up to much) Centre board position is important to have the right hight as to little and the boat slips sideways makeing it difficult to put the rudder on or on a run flip. to much and the boat will tack. You could on a run have no board and slip sideways but its a problem if you have to avoid someone. also you can also stand on the bow keep the boat head to wind and steer by leaning but not if you have a light weight deck.

or simply sail out with only the jib up, one in clear water let it fly round up and hoist the main. easy peasy
