RE: Windsurfer Cruising ideas

Chris T (and others)
 
How about something on self - rescue (probably comes under safety), some perhaps some general contingencies (ie knowing what is likely to break and having the spare gear to fix it - either on the water or at the beach), and a general "box of tricks" with spare partsUnderstanding shore conditions, rips, currents, etc, and the risks involved with going out in open water in off-shore conditions..... Hydration is important - (I have experimented with a 2li Camelpak during summer)  
 
I sound like a bit of a "boy scout" here but, if I'm not teaching someone & using a Wally myself, I often sail alone and make sure someone always knows where I am and what time I'm due back. (ie Have a bit of a plan where you are going and your expected time of return.)
 
Hope this helps.?
 
Cheers

Oy Steve, I happen to know several women who find Windsurfer One Design sailors
irresistible. There's no accounting for bad taste.

Anyway, with a simple click, all those poor biker boyz are off the list. Ahhhh, they'll be
sobbing into their leathers. If any One Design sailors do have a hankering for men in
leather, they'll already know where to find them (settle down at the back, there!).

On a serious note......

I'm trying to work out the syllabus (curriculum is too hard to spell) for a course on
windsurfer cruising, rather than racing. We're trying to cater for people who don't want to
race much, but want to feel happier and more comfortable on their Windsurfer.

So far I've covered weather, safety, how to make sailing easier, and where to sail. Can
anyone give me any other ideas about what should be in the course?

Also, I'm writing a Windsurfer One Design/Junior One yearbook, to work as a promotional
aid for the class. I need a fleet report from Narrabeen and Parkdale, and info etc from
anyone else who wants to wield a pen.

Drop me a line

Chris
