Warm up
Tune up continuously while waiting to start
Sail around the course area
Get rid of the unnecessary weight
Get your equipment ready
Work hard for the first 3 minutes
Don’t try to point until you are going fast
When the boat feels good trim harder
If you are slow change something
Keep your weight low and close to the center
Change gears when conditions change
Set your boat for the prevailing wind and not for the gust
Do not oversteer
In big fleets avoid the center of the start
