The plan
Agree the task, who is responsible for each part and the calls that will be used.
Crew practice
Good crew work
can be practised.
A session for adults who have sailed before and want to coordinate roles, communicate earlier and understand the whole manoeuvre.
What the session covers
Role rotation
Take turns at the helm and crew positions, so each task makes sense in relation to the others.
Communication
Practise short, understood calls and confirmation that the crew is ready before beginning a task.
Debrief
Identify moments when the sequence worked and where the crew needed more time or clearer information.
The water sets part of the plan.
The instructor decides which exercises suit the conditions and the crew. The outline describes the learning focus; it is not a promise that every task will be completed in one session.
