TopTip2022 #91 - Start Line Tips - by Nick Craig, GBR
The RYA visited the King George Gallop SailJuice event and asked Nick Craig if he would offer up some Start Line Top Tips.
Fantastic that they published them just before we go up against Nick in his GP14 on the start line in tomorrow's Tiger Trophy! To be fair, Nick is so generous that he would like us to start better against him at these mixed class winter events to help him prepare for his Class racing season ahead. Thanks Nick!
Start Line Top Tips
1 - Transits - Several of them
2 - Slow Speed Boat Handling - Practice with a buoy
3 - Find a Gap to Leeward - For acceleration
Check the video out here - it has lots of RS Aero footage too! - and get ready for a big 2022!
