How to Steer a Sailboat: It is not how you think!

Practice this drill to improve your sailing skills. Over-using the wheel can slow a boat down and cause undue drag on the rudder. Lock your wheel in place and try steering by your sails. Watch this video to learn how. Once your sails are trimmed correctly, then use the wheel to guide the boat along the path. If you change directions, re-trim your sails! https://thesailingacademy.com https://thesailingacademy.com/sailing-courses/beginner-sailing-courses/ The Sailing Academy 410 867-7177 411 Deale Road Tracy's Landing, MD 20779
