 DOWNWIND SAILING Downwind legs in a TIWAL in 20 knots can be fast and exciting but also wet! Here are a few tips for sailing downwind in breezy conditions: 1. Sit back. Get your weight as far back towards the stern of the boat as you can. 2. Surf the waves. As you come down the face of a wave, head the boat upwind slightly, find an escape from the trough ahead and look for the next wave to use. 3. Sheet on. In the big gusts pull in 2-3 feet of mainsheet in to reduce the surface area of the sail to the wind. 4. Sail high. The best way to stop nose diving is to sail higher towards the wind until you regain stability and the boat is planing fast. Continually work up and down to keep the boat going fast and staying upright!

I want to say a big thank you to Dr Odunga for the marvelous work he did in my life. My name is Kelli Fain, I live in Kentucky, US. I have been trying to conceive for over 7 years of marriage. I have tried so many means to get pregnant but to no avail. I had to consult Dr. Odunga to help me with my problem with recommendations from an old friend who gave me his email address [email protected] and I contacted him directly. We had communication and he agreed to help me with fertility herbs which he sent to me. I used the medicine as instructed and within 5 days, I conceived. I took in the very night I slept with my husband and got pregnant with twins. Presently, I am happy in my marriage and I am grateful to Dr. Odunga for making me a mother of twin girls. My happiness is here. I will publish this testimony to invite anyone who needs help getting pregnant to contact Dr. Odunga too with immediate effect to get effective help. His email is [email protected] and his Whats-App contact is +2348167159012 Leave a Reply. |
