Centerboard - Retractable board which pivots up and down below the hull, acting as a keel helping to reduce sidewys drift - Daggerboard is wery simlar but lifts up n down,

i would have added a picture but stupid p.c. wont let me,

A very good point redback, our club dont train people until may for the reason that its too dangerous to be teaching learners in these temperatures. The best bet is to wait a bit longer, often enough we get some good wind in spring that isnt as icy cold as it is at the minute - the only people that shud be sailing at the minute should be experienced and wearing a drysuit/steamer! (oh yeh and you have to be midly insane too )
Any one in need of quality carbon fibre work (tillers etc) at decent prices!

If you are going to sail this time of year you need quite a bit of specialised clothing - I'd suggest you wait until after Easter and then you'll need a long john wet suit, some sort of water and wind proof top and something on your feet that won't get compleltely ruined by being wet.  I'm sure you can improvise the water proof top and the foot wear and the long john will cost you about £60.  I should go without saying that you need some sort of bouyancy aid which at first you can probably borrow.  Don't wear a life jacket - too bulky.

If you are tempted to go out in this weather and you're only wearing what I have described, then don't, it could kill you.

Being an 'assistant' instructor myself (hoping to get my instructors this year) judging gusts and reacting intuitively is definetly what beginners find hardest. Where I sail we often have very gusty winds and the begginer kids always have problems when the winds going form 3 then gusting to 5!! We definetly need the rescue boats in those conditions!
