A – THEORY
This exercise is very useful for inexperienced young coaches or if several new teams join the group, in saving time and making training more effective. Draw on the board the way that the teams should line up and remind them of the distance that they should keep between them before they bear off.
B – ACTION
One rib One 420 dinghy for each team
Ask one team to be the leader and the rest to follow them by keeping between them two boat lengths difference. When they all line up and have a SIMILAR exercise speed, signal to them to set the spinnaker to downwind or reaching. Keep 2 boat lengths distance between the boats.
