TEACHING INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED SAILORS


Progression of Learning - Land Drill


Skill-Based: Physical movements of focus skill. Instructor description:


Everyone will take turns calling out all the points of sail as we rotate a rigged boat on a dolly. Tey will ease and trim the sail appropriately and say the angle number to the wind.

Activity-Based: Practice the water activities on land. Instructor description:


Set up three objects to act as mock buoys to the Triangle By the Lee Course (below) with a windward leeward course and gybe mark closer to the windward mark similar to an offset. Have sailors walk around the course describing the point of sail they are on and using the arms to show changing in sail trim. Instructors should call out details on the by the lee leg for students to recognize when you may accidentally jibe


Instructor demo.


Te instructor turns the boat and calls proper sail trim (all the way in for close hauled, half way out for beam reach etc.).


Each student individually tries while instructor gives specific and constructive feedback.


Instructor demo.


Instructor should walk course once demonstrating arm movements for sail trim and sailing by the lee WHILE avoiding an accidental jibe.


Class tries while instructor gives feedback.

Progression of Learning - Instructor Demonstration Instructor demo:


Te instructor will sail next to the dock and call out the angles and points of sail while going in a circle. Make sure to trim and ease the sails to correctly match the point of sail. Show by the lee sailing with a sail eased past 90 degrees. Demonstrate the same angle on the other tack.


Progression of Learning - Student Practice Rig and Sail out. On-Water Practice:


Triangle by the Lee Course Description:


Set a windward leeward course with a gybe mark closer to the windward mark similar to an offset. Have the sailors round the gybe mark and sail as close to the leeward mark without gybing in order to practice sailing by the lee.


Graphic: 100 minutes On-Water Game: Description:


A standard game of tennis ball tag where one sailor is ‘it’ and trying to tag other boats by throwing a tennis ball at their sail. Te difference is that in order for the ‘tag’ to count, the sailor must call out their point of sail before throwing it. Example: “Starboard close reach!”

SAFETY - Make sure you have another instructor or high-level student to co-teach with you if you are going to demo a skill away from your students safely. One person always needs to be with the class.
