Most sailors do not choose to be out when it’s rough weather and we would not recommend that FlexiSail members leave their berth if the forecast is Force 6 and rising, but sometimes you just get caught out and knowing how to set up the storm jib beforehand, rather than making it up as you go along, can do much to make your trip home safer and more comfortable.

Your RYA instructor will also give you tips and tricks on handling the boat in strong winds and big seas and how to prepare the boat.

Skills Covered…

• Setting up a storm jib

• When to reef

• The 3rd reef & how to put it in

• Weather helm

• Helming in big seas

• Preparing a boat & crew for heavy weather sailing

FlexiSail Specific Skill Days are limited to 4 FlexiSail Members / FlexiCrew.
