• Do not sail directly against the wind
• Do not permit the angle of your sail to be less than 45 degrees
• Practice in low winds
• Beware of the boom. Learn to control the boom as it is essential for smooth sailing.
• Control the lines. Keep lines in good shape as they control just about everything on a boat. If you stay on top of the lines, you will be able to perform quick maneuvers as well as enjoy the added benefit of smooth sailing.
• Prepare your mainsail before you leave the dock. This will save time and provide an added safety precaution.
• Expect mistakes
