Heavy Wind Sailing – How to prep and avoid troubles!

Hi Folks,

I was sent this video from a friend at Sail Georgina. Very well done short video on the benefits of preparation and understanding your “second boat”. That is, the heavy wind one!

Heavy Air Prep and Sailing

Keep watching to the end and see what happens when troubles do occur in heavy air.

Enjoy and I hope this is helpful.

Neil
