Live Coaching Call Week 5 - Recording (9 Jan)

Many thanks to Kevin Kenny for providing the Pivot Point cheatsheet, mentioned in the call and available to download below.


TIMECODED QUESTIONS

00:00 Intro & America’s Cup chat

08:00 What options do you see for "footers" (in upwind planing dinghies like 49er, 470) – especially at the start where most of the fleet likes/needs to pinch to hold the lane? (usually you go for a slightly different setup which is not that easy to change)

16:00 Penny & Russ Clark: 49er centreboard - to raise or not to raise?

28:39 Kevin Kenny Pivot Point cheatsheet [download below]

32:00 Keelboat sailors - training in dinghies?

34:55 Jon Emmett: What forms of diversification are available to you as a singlehanded Laser sailor?

37:33 I’m having a tough time on sailing in bad waves upwind. Can you tell me the basics on steering through the waves and sail trim and how to be good at it?

43:32 Training in chaos - what are the benefits of that kind of tuning session?

49:41 Could you help me with a drill for our squad of 2-3 boats to test the low exit from the offset mark and keep the lane there?

54:41 In terms of lifting the centreboard, is there any differentiation in centreboard height between 4.7 - radial - standard due to difference in sail plan?

56:30 You discussed different modes for asymmetric spinnaker downwind. In the J/70 we do wing on wing (with asym) in 8-13 knots of wind in flat water. Do any other asymmetric classes use this mode?

59:59 If you were to make a Road To Gold for Offshore Mixed, which additional chapters would you add and how would you rank them versus the chapters that you have in this course? (considering that you've put the chapters in priority order)

1:06:00 If you could change centreboard depth downwind in asymmetric planing dinghies (49er) - would you go for more power or less drag?
