11. The First Sailing Trip
Figure 15 briefly explains the basics of sailing ma-
noeuvres for a square trip in a few brief words. The
information in the chapter „Angle of Attack of the Sails
to the Wind" is helpful here as well.
Start in point A at about 45° side wind (for wind di-
rection, see arrow). The rudder is set to neutral. The
angle of attack of the sails is about 20° (figure 15,
item 1).
Just before you turn to the left by 90° at turning point
B, you need to slowly „pull" the sails (reduce the angle
to the longitudinal direction of the boat). The rudder is
still set to neutral (figure 15, item 2).
If the sails start fluttering slightly when „pulling in", the
sails must not be pulled in any further (rope winch
stop). Initiate the 90° turn with the rudder.
Once the longitudinal direction of the boat is aligned
in the direction of point C (figure 15, item 3), set the
rudder back to neutral. For best sailing performance,
you can enlarge the angle of attack of the sails a little
again until the next turn (open sails again).
Just before you turn to the left by 90° at turning point
C, you need to slowly „pull" the sails (reduce the angle

still set to neutral (figure 15, item 4).
If the sails start fluttering slightly when „pulling in", the sails must not be pulled in any further (rope winch stop). Initiate
the 90° turn with the rudder.
Once the longitudinal axis of the boat is aligned (laterally offset) in the direction of point A (figure 15, item 5), set the
rudder back to neutral. For best sailing performance, you can enlarge the angle of attack of the sails a little again until
the next turn (open sails again). Make sure that the sails do not break in or flutter.
To return to the starting point A, you need to drive „into the wind" at a zigzag. It is important that the sails are only
opened enough not to drop or flutter (figure 15, items 6 and 7).
