Once you have the basics down, it's time to refine. Repeat your skills on calm water and focus on trimming the sail: experiment with the position of the mainsail and jib for the best speed and balance. Pay attention to your posture, your use of the rudder, and tacking safely.
Safety makes the difference between a great and a risky trip. Check that all equipment on board is present and in good condition: enough life jackets, a complete first aid kit, no leaks in the hull, up-to-date distress signals, and a working radio. Finally, keep a close eye on the weather. Use reliable weather apps, pay attention to wind strength, direction, and showers, and learn to respond to changing conditions.
