Our frostbite series starts next week which I would like to compete in.
I am brushing up on my sailing skills and am tempted to have a go at perfecting sailing by the lee.
All I have read so far seems to be explaining how helpful it can be in waves.
Can it be used to good effect in flat water?
I sail on an inland reservoir where the chop never gets more that a foot or so.
Will I be wasting my time learning by the lee and should I concentrate on starting and mark rounding, or will I be missing an essential sailing skill which might push me up the places?
Any advice gratefully recieved.
Nicko
