Course #2: Upwind

Most races begin with an upwind leg and already at the first mark rounding a major step towards the overall result of the race is already taken. This fact makes mastering upwind sailing very important!

In this 2nd course on this series on SailingSkills.com, we'll take a look at the Upwind, from different perspectives.

On this courser we will be going through:

• Upwind Basics 1: Trimming and balancing
• Upwind Basics 2: Manoeuvres and boat handling
• Upwind Basics 3: Moding - tactical positioning and driving
• Wind and fleet strategy
• Tactics and priorities up the beat
• Exercises and training

All topics covered in an easy to understand manner, starting at the basics, and gradually progressing. But we also venture into more advanced levels where even quite experienced sailors will surely get inspired and challenged on their understanding of wingshapes, flow, lift and forces.

The course is divided into chapters, total about 2h20 runtime
