Experience Greenland and its wild nature on board our expedition vessel Valiente this summer! ⛵ The word kayak comes from the Greenlandic Inuit language and means "hunter’s boat." It was the Inuit who invented kayaks, and they have been used for more than 4,000 years. Early kayaks were made of driftwood, animal skin, and bones. The Eskimo Roll is a technique that helps you flip back up if you capsize. Would you like to give it a try? Are you ready for Greenland?

@sarahdouglas_ makes every boat handling maneuver look easy. There’s no secret that loads of deliberate practice and coaching feedback have helped her achieve this consistency The leeward mark can be a place to either makeup or lose a lot of boats. Just having the basic techniques down can be the difference-maker. Oftentimes traffic will create opportunity as boat handling becomes more important than tactics. Being prepared for the mark rounding makes a big difference. It includes setting up the sail and having a wide entry. The objective is to be sailing on close-hauled as close to the mark as possible without hitting it on the exit. We prioritize the angles over the sheeting. Often mistakes are when people aren’t looking where they are going and attempting to sheet looking at their hands. That doesn’t mean sheeting isn’t important – it’s a skill that requires it’s own practice. We have loads of drills to help improve ‘hand over hand’ sheeting technique while watching where you are going. This dramatically increases results in boat handling techniques, such as the mark rounding. All of our clinics include boat handling techniques. Come down to Mexico for a clinic and we’ll help to dramatically improve your skills in only one week! What is ISA Online? An online course where you can find the best Laser class resources available.
