Teaching the Boys to Sail "The Capsize"

One of the first lesson you need to teach anyone learning to sail a dingy is how to capsize and recover. Over coming the fear of being in the water and getting the boat back up and going is a really important if the kids are going to stay safe as the learn to sailing on their own. It was quite a scary moment for me, having taught countless kids to sail it usually goes one of two way........ 1) They get upset and want to see their mum. 2) They laugh and ask if they can do it again. You need it to be a number 2 if they are going to come back for more.
