The document provides instructions for basic sailing procedures and maneuvers, including preparing to leave port, hoisting main and jib sails, adjusting sail trim based on wind conditions, tacking, jibing, setting and handling a gennaker spinnaker, and returning to port. Key steps are outlined for each procedure, with an emphasis on crew roles and coordination between crew members.

6. Preparing for Sailing / Leaving a port Preparation for sailing Sail cover, winch cover, should be removed Main / Midzen halyard should be set Winch handles should be placed Uncoil jib sheets - > eight knot at the end Setting spin sheet Leaving a port Shore power disconnect Moring line -> store at bow storage Fender -> store at bow storage Mast, Main sheet, cockpit x 2, Midzen

8. Hoist a sail Main Sail Untie sail tie Loose leaf lope for both ( No1 and No2 ) Pull in Main Halyard till top of mast Set cunninghum line at tack Tie LazyJack to forward side Adjust tension of outhaul Adjust main sail sheet Jib Sail Untie Jib furling line Set jib sheet to winch and wait for skipper’s call After skipper’s call, pull in jib sheet until jib sail trimmed

9. Wind direction and speed Cockpit meters Boat Speed Wind direction Wind speed ( True and apparent ) Depth SOG ( Speed Over Ground ) Wind direction Windex Telltail

10. Sailing angles ( relation between wind & sailing direction ) Position of boat Close-hauled ( upwind sail ) Abeam Broadreach Running Port tack ( wind from left ) Starboard tack (wind from right ) Coming up Falling off ( Bearing ) Wind Direction Wind direction from top to bottom

11. Headsail (Jib) trimming 1 Sailing upwind Assume port tack closehold To control wind flow for bothsides of sail Leeward side wind Windward side Check “ telltail “ to see wind flow of both sides Starboard side ( Leeward side ) Green telltail Port side ( Windward side ) Red telltail Sail ease or tighten by Jib sheet Head Clew Leech Luff Foot Tack

12. Headsail (Jib) trimming 2 Sailing upwind Assume port tack closehold Wind from portside ( left side ) Windward flow Leeward flow If Windward side telltail fails Windward flow is not right Pulling in jib sail If Leeward side telltail fails Leeward flow is not right Ease jib sail

13. Headsail (Jib) trimming 3 Falling off ( Bearing ) Sailing upwind Assume port tack closehold Make sure jib and mailsail trimmed well Wind flow for windward and leeward are smooth If not trimmer should adjust sail Skipper calls Bearing Skipper start steer yacht to leeward slowly mail sail trimmer ease mainsail Jim trimmer ease jibsail

14. Change direction of a yacht procedure – Tacking Assume boat position is closehald port tack ( wind from left side ) Skipper Check if cockpit is ready for Tacking Call “ Tacking “ and start steering yacht to windward Keep steering yacht Stop steering when yacht position get Closehold ( port tack ) Jib sail trimmer windward ( port ) Set winch handle and let Skipper know you are ready Ready for pull in Jib sheet with two crew ( winch and sheet hold ) Wait jib sheet leeward side released then pulling in jib sheet Pulling in jib sheet until both side of telltail get right wind flow Jib sail trimmer leeward ( starboard ) Hold jib sheet by hand and let Skipper know you are ready Wait yacht bow toward wind direction ( Jib sail start recieving back wind ) When bow start steering to leeward side, release jib sheet completely Support/help windward side crew Tacking completed

15. Change direction of a yacht procedure – Jibing Assume boat position is running starboard tack ( wind from right side ) Skipper Check if cockpit is ready for jibing Call “ jibe “ and start steering yacht to leeward Make sure boom reach to center, steer yacht from dead running to starboard running Stop steering when yacht position is starboard running Main Sail trimmer Jib sail trimmer can handle main sail sheet as well Pulling in main sheet as quick as possible till boom reach center position When yacht steer to starboard, ease main sheet gradually Adjust main sail sheet Jib sail trimmer windward ( port ) Trimming jib sail and be ready for jibe Ease jib sheet to trim jib sail at last moment Release jib sheet completely Help other crew Jib sail trimmer leeward ( starboard ) Set winch handle and set jib sheet to winch Wait for jib sheet ( port side ) released Pulling in jib sheet to trim jib sail Trim jib sheet to adjust jib sail right position Jibing completed

16. Running sail Gennaker What’s Gennaker Sail for downwind Easy handling ( without spinpole ) Head – Spin Halyard To mast head Tack - Bow split line Clew – Spin sheet to cockpit ( Port & Starboard ) Socks make easy to hoist and drop Hoist with socks on then socks down

17. Structure of Gennaker When we hoist Gennaker, socks should be on Head – Spin Halyard To mast head Tack - Bow split line Clew – Spin sheet to cockpit ( Port & Starboard ) Socks is controlled by two blue lines

18. Hoist Gennaker Assume boat position is abeam to broadreach Skipper Call “ Gennaker Set “ Call “ Hoist “ Keep yacht direction straight Bow man Bring Gennaker bag to bow and set Tack and Crew Support Gennaker going out from a sail bag Check all lines are clear then go back to cockpit Mast man Take spin halyard line to head of Gennaker Pull in Spin Halyard to top Then Socks up by blue line Check all lines are clear then go back to cockpit Cockpit ( Spin sheet trimmer ) Make sure spin sheets are not tangled Farling jib line to fold jib sail and trim Gennaker by spin sheet Fly Gennaker as far as you can Hoist Gennaker completed

19. Jibe with Gennaker Assume boat position is abeam to broadreach ( starboad tack ) Skipper Call “ preparing for Jibe “ Call “ Jibe “ and steer a yacht to leeward When Gennaker clew fly further than forestay, steer bow to left ( windward ) Keep steer slowly till right direction ( now yacht is port tack ) Main Sail Trimmer Pulling in main sheet until boom reach to center position Watch out boom movement and prepare for jibe Check boom go to starboard then start ease main sheet Ease main sheet until main sail reach right position Bow man Go bow and check spin sheet from starboard is clear Check starboard side spin sheet are outside of forestay Support Gennaker movement to clear forestay Check all sheet clear ( especially port spin sheet ) Cockpit ( Spin sheet trimmer port ) Trim spin sheet ( port ) to keep Gennaker fly Ease spin sheet to fly Gennaker as far After make sure Gennaker clew clear forestay, release spinsheet ( port ) Stand port side to check luff of Gennaker to trim it Cockpit ( Spin sheet trimmer starboard ) Pulling in jib sheet to set jib about 6 feet ( avoid Gennaker tangle ) Put starboad spin sheet on winch to prepare jibe After Gennaker clew goes starboad side, start pulling in spinsheet ( Starboard ) to fly Gennaker Take care starboard winch with spin sheet- work with starboad crew Jibing Gennaker completed

20. Gennaker Down Assume boat position is Port tack broadreach Skipper Call “ Prepare for Gennaker Down “ Call “ Gennaker socks down “ To make sure socks down then call Gennaker down Bow man Going bow and prepare for Gennaker Down Pulling in socks line to down socks all the way to bottom Work with Mast man to bring Gennaker down Mast man Take Socks line for socks down Work with Bow Man to sock down Release Spin Halyard to down Gennaker Check all lines are clear then go back to cockpit Cockpit ( Spin sheet trimmer ) Release Jib furler line and pulling in Jib to open it Easing spin sheet to help socks down Trim Jib sheet to keep boat speed Gennaker Down completed
