into the wind. Finally, hoist the jib, lower the board and slip the painter. Backing the jib will bring the bow away from the wind to put the boat on a reach. Sheet in and sail away. If the wind and tide are opposed, attach the rudder and hoist the jib, leaving it to fly (or furl). Slip the mooring line and sail away under jib alone to a clear area. Prepare the mainsail; turn the boat into the wind and hoist before bearing away to continue sailing. It may be easier to turn head to wind if the mainsail is partially raised before leaving.
