Posts: 1,383 Kingston SE South Australia | It's a lot easier to learn with too little wind than too much wind. Once you learn to get the most out of your boat in light winds with sail trim etc you can sail in any wind. If you stick close to shore tomorrow there's no reason not to take the family out with life jackets etc. If its light again get the kids hanging on trapeze on the wrong side while your on the correct side, let them steer while you lay on your back near the mast looking up changing the sail trim so you can see the difference each change makes. Go in the shallows deliberately tip over a few times and right it then you all know what to do. Have a go at doing the wild thing, trying to fly a hull in light wind with your weight on the lower side of the tramp your heart will thump in 4 knotts of breeze. When capsizing let the wife and kids know to slide down the tramp with their legs together and grap any rope when they're near the water so they stay with the boat, you'll laugh all day and the family will want to go again.
