I've just bought a rather nice 420 which I'll be sailing with my daughter (aged 11).

It's been a while since I helmed a proper dinghy (I crew an F18) and weigh 75kg. We'll be sailing on the sea off a beach.

I've been reading up the tips on the 420 association all very good and useful, any other top tips I should know would be appreciated.

Cheers.
