Nice guide Grazz - but one small typo:

"The 12 will never gybe heeled to windward:the rudder will stall and you'll capsize."

Don't you mean heeled to leeward.

Cool website Grazz!! That's just what we need. Also like the link to the google vids...
I get the N12 video soundtrack in my head when I see the foolish reaching..Really addictive...

Absolutely brilliant Grazz, will be a big help to lots of us - hope I can take it all in before Grafham tommorow.

Thanks for spotting the deliberate error Tim. And you kindly demonstrate the point....

Obviously - it was all purely intentional. Just for the camera.....

They are talking about us on the RS Vareo board!
Apparently they want some coaching like we and the RS 600s have!

On the tutorial tacking, the link to the video that shows tacking in strong wind is no longer there. Would be nice to have it back, instead of having to hack through all the videos in Google.

Thanks,

Jim. N3130 and N3470.
