Funnel Journey Stage Milestone Description
Awareness Learning to sail Navigational Anxiety
Beginners can feel overwhelmed by the various aspects of
navigation, including reading charts, understanding wind
direction, and using navigation instruments. Navigating
unfamiliar waters can be intimidating.
Boat Handling
Maneuvering a sailboat requires coordination and skill.
Novices may struggle with controlling the boat's movements,
tacking, jibing, and docking, leading to frustration and anxiety.
Wind Awareness
Understanding how to use the wind effectively for propulsion
can be difficult for beginners. Learning to position the sails
correctly and adjust them according to changing wind
conditions can be a challenge.
Safety Concerns
Safety is paramount when on the water. New sailors may be
anxious about capsizing, getting stranded, or dealing with
unexpected weather changes.
Knots and Rigging
Knot tying and rigging the sails are fundamental skills, but
they can be confusing for newcomers. Mastering these skills
is essential for safe sailing.
