Quite some time ago, I was in a week-long Laser 'camp' with an instructor who told us to practice 'rudderless' sailing. Not really rudderless, because the rudder was left in the water, but we did tie the tiller with shock cord to the strap. No hands on the tiller, obviously. It was a good exercise, I thought, learning to steer the boat just by shifting your body around.
Now that I am usually sailing by myself and need some educational 'entertainment', I wonder whether this exercise is actually a good one.
Are there other/better ways to practice 'body steering'?
Input please
ISA are you listening?
