Bagaimana Melancarkan bot  anda

Bersempena dengan bulan pelayaran Terengganu- MonSTer 2021

Sekali lagi kita tunjukkan cara-cara untuk melancarkan/launching bot secara berseorangan

- Secara umumnya launching adalah salah satu perkara asas yang penting.

- pastikan kedalaman yang cukup supaya rudder tidak tersangkut dasar

- Kesilapan atau cara yang salah boleh menyebabkan berlaku kerosakan dan masalah untuk memulakan pelayaran anda

- Arah bot hampir :head to wind" semasa memasang adalah penting supaya bot stabil

- teknik memasukkan pintle di rudder blade ke gudgeon di bot sedikit sukar jika bot tidak stabil

- Jangan berada terlampau dalam nanti susah pula nak masuk ke dalam bot

- daggerboard boleh juga dimasukkan semasa berada dalam bot tetapi sebaiknya masukkan sebahagian sebelum menaiki bot

- setelah masuk terus pegang tiller halakan bot ke tempat yang diarahkan oleh coach

- tarik mainsheet untuk gerakkan bot. Berapa banyak? sehingga hilang flapping pada layar

Recap of the things you should aim to do on your first sail.  This is how to start and stop, and how to turn around.  Simple things to start with allow you to become familiar with how the boat behaves and responds to your control 

Often called the 5 essentials.  We think that Wind Awareness is so important that it should be added to this list making 6 essentials!  Each factor is are as important as the other and crucial to get to grips with. 

The essential factors are most commonly known as the five essentials.  These are factors considered the most important to allow a boat to sail to its full potential.  Each factor is as important as the other, and as one changes there is a knock on effect on the others.

When you go on a course you will most probably find this called the 5 essentials. However we think that what the wind is doing is SO important that this should be included in this section as well and have made ours a list of six essentials.

Wind awareness is the only essential that happens outside of the boat but it has a DIRECT impact on absolutely everything that happens on board a boat.

You MUST understand where the wind is blowing from at all times afloat to allow you the best chance to then look at and understand the other factors in turn.  Without understanding where the wind is blowing from there is a risk you will be lost and not fully understand what to do with regard to the remaining factors.  This video introduces the concept of the essential factors and illustrates what to look for.
