Survived day 1 and day 2 was travelling from Keppel Marina to Changi Sailing Club via Ubin and Tekong. Also practiced alongside with the technique to use bowspringto hold the boat while in forward tick so that the stern will propel outwards and we switch to neutral with a burst of reverse before reversing.
Starting the coastal skipper today. Reached the marina early.
Did a tight manoeuvre practice to do a turn in tight space (e.g marina) trick is to hard to port/starboard as boat is moving forward then switch to reverse gear, boat will slow and also turn at the same time. When boat is coming to a stop do a forward burst of 2-3 secs before switching to neutral then reverse again then boat will continue turning on the spot. Quite a neat trick!
Also practiced reversing boat into markings in transit (forms a line to show you are inline with the items in transit) and tacks and gybes.
At the marina! Wonder if we will sail Venture or Endeavour…

“You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don’t win, at least you can be satisfied that you’ve tried. If you don’t accept failure as a possibility, you don’t set high goals, you don’t branch out, you don’t try – you don’t take the risk.” Rosalynn Carter
