Warrior downwind – vision – opposition and touch points
Vision: looking downwind, chin near or even on rear
shoulder.
Warrior: look and lean over a heavily flexed knee into
the turn.
Opposition: rig is leant out of the turn to counter balance.
Downwind touch points:
you’ll see that in many situations, we pull the clew hand in
and down very close to the head to gain control of the rig.
“Imagine you’re talking into a microphone, whilst pulling
down trying to rip the boom off the mast!” Which is leant the
‘opposite’ way to counter balance.
