Sail in Egypt Beginner Sailing Courses

skipper — Sun, 13 May 2012 07:19:21 +0000

Despite wind and weather conditions, our beginners will learn something new every time. Today, the winds were very light so it was perfect time to practice capsize and recovery. David takes a beginner student through a half inversion (boat on side).

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.
