Maneuvers

This afternoon it was just Steve and I sailing. During a typical pleasure sail the opportunity to try various maneuvers just isn’t available. With just the two of us we had the chance to do several maneuvers to familiarize him with the boat.

-Knot skills
-Starting the engine
-Casting off from the mooring
-Steering with a tiller
-Unfurling the jib
-Sail trim
-Steering under sail
-Furling the jib
-Picking up the mooring
-Shutting the engine down
