Capsize and Recovery Lesson, DM Sailing Center

Capsizes are an integral part of sailing dinghies. When a capsize happens for the first time, it can be quite shocking. But, being prepared to deal with one, and recover the boat is a major confidence booster.

10 Steps to Recover a Capsized Dinghy

1 – Clear the danger zone between the hull and the boom.
2 – Check in with any crew on board to make sure they’re not trapped.
3 – Swim around to the daggerboard/underside through the back of your boat.
4 – Hold on to the daggerboard to prevent the boat inverting further.
If you have a crew, then wait until they’re also at the daggerboard area
5 – Ensure the daggerboard is fully out (towards the underside, i.e you)
6 – All those around the daggerboard should hoist themselves upwards, trying to actually get on the daggerboard (Don’t worry if you don’t).
7 – The boat will begin to lean towards you. Continue to hoist yourself upwards.
8-  The boat will return to an upright position. Hold onto its side.
9 – Pull yourself into the boat and assist crew.
10 – When you’re ready, sheet in, and you’re ready to sail off.

We have had many requests for Corporate Team Building events. Sailing is a great way to build communication, leadership, decision-making processes and overall team effectiveness. DMSC will be happy to host your company for a team building day.

The four-day event drew water sports enthusiasts from across Egypt. All types of people joined the fun on the beach enjoying displays of water sports equipment and a variety of entertainment. From powerboats to sailboats, from jet skis to ATVs, visitors to the Water Sports Expo could see, try, and buy equipment that suited their outdoor activities. It was the ultimate water sports playground.

Aboard Suzanne, Pegasus 800, on Red Sea

Advanced sailors, who have been sailing a while and have mastered the basic skills, take to the Red Sea on Suzanne, 8-metre sailing yacht.

Advanced students will learn new skills, how to sail a larger boat alone, and advanced navigation.

One of our advanced sailors spent time improving his racing skills.

As summer approaches, we’ve have beginning to advanced sailors sign up for lessons that will help them prepare for cruising the gorgeous coast of Turkey and Cypress.
