a lot and they don’t pay attention to the
rest
4. Keep the weight all the time low and
close to the middle of the boat

9. Common Faults
• Roll the boat before head to wind-makes for a
long drawn out tack.
•Not holding the end of the tiller extension.
•Sitting too far back to tack because the kids push
their feet when tacking.
•Not making sure the rudder is straight as you roll
the boat flat.
