Cold Water Shock Key Points: - You will likely gasp for air, then breath rapidly. - Can only hold breath for seconds so protect your airway from waves and spray. - Your heart will be working harder, so don t try to swim, just relax! - The effects will be at its worst in the first 30 seconds but will have gone within 3 minute

  11. 3) Course over ground -slippage S Slippage (leeway) - - Tide Force on sail more than the counteracting force on the centreboard Reducing Slippage - Centreboard fully in the water - Don t heal the boat - Dig the nose in sit forward upwind

  12. 4) Trim (forward and aft) Upwind sit forward to dig the front in and stop lateral movement Off wind flat is fast Planing downwind sit further back to induce planning raise bow
