I’m new to sailing and recently bought a new to me 1976 Sunfish and trailer. The Sunfish and sail is yellow and orange. We call her Marigold. We have a lake house at a smallish lake in East Texas. Our first couple of weekends have had light winds but that has given me a chance to experiment and learn how the boat reacts. I’ve read a lot of posts on this forum and watched a bunch of YouTubes. I don’t see much if anything written about tips for sailing with a passenger and I’m hoping you can enlighten me. My wife and I hope to sail together. We went out the first time together today and made it back alive so maybe we have it figured out but somehow I figure I have much to learn. Where does the passenger and “driver” sit? How do we coordinate movements during tack? Your tips are greatly appreciated.
