1/3
m r the principle of propulsion and inertia. Id est, propulsion
occurs when their is wind in the
sail, and the boat has forward inertia (e.g. keeps going forward
even after propulsion has been
removed)
-Practical Take Home points
-LUFF OR BACK - The sails need to be luffing or backed in order
for the boat to stop-WINDWARD - It is easier to have the sails luff
when pointing into or close to the wind
-WAIT - the boat wont stop instantly, it needs time to slow
down
-FILL & GO - fill one/both sails, and keep sailing
Elaboration of key points
-LUFF vs. BACK luffing takes longer to stop, but is often easier
to execute (especially in
strong winds), backing stops you quickly, but can also make you
go backwards
-APPROACH - very difficult when approaching running/broad reach,
easier beam/close
reach, EASIEST CLOSE- HAULED to Irons.
-STOP QUICKLY? wind and wave conditions will affect how fast
boat slows (big waves
slow you down quickly, pointing into a strong wind slows you
down quickly)
-FILL the jib....you control where you go! port side......go to
starboard (port tack)
DEMONSTRATION: sheet in/out, reaching, vs. close hauled vs.
irons., using actual
boat, showing the propulsion force on the sails on different
points of sail
CONFIRMATION - LAND
Can students say the three key points? (LUFF to WINDWARD, WAIT,
FILL & GO)
BRIEFING H20
THEME GAS & BRAKE
Objective: STOP (including at a particular place) and GO (in
control
1. STOP SIGN!
-Stop the boat at a mark
Key Points:
-review approach CH, LUFF/BACK, WAIT (HOW LONG?), STOP at the
sign (Orange
mark)
-OUTCOME!!!!: Braking like a pro-stars give props to the mark
while motionless
-Take off like a hot rod - FILL & GO
*setup marks so that no more than two boats at each mark to
minimize collision risk

2/3
2. RED LIGHT/GREEN LIGHT
-Stopping starting on a whistle
-Boats all on same tack, following coach boat
-Whistle....RED Light......brake like bugs bunny
-Whistle.....GREEN light......accelerate like the road
runner
Key Points-ibid
-Try BACKING your sails
-Which way can you back your jib to avoid hitting joe cadet
beside you?
3. Drag Race
-Challenge a boat!
-3-2-1......STOP
-3-2-1......GO
-Who has the best finesse on the brake?
-Who has the most horsepower?
Key Points
-ibid
-crew coordination is key
-correctly judging wind speed/waves will win
SAFETY
-Any weather/geo hazards to worry about?
-Collisions......NOT NASCAR! (tiller towards trouble, crews
lookout, always avoidcrashes)
-Stay on the same track (close to each other/ pace setting
car/CB)
-Hail/wave paddle if in need of assistance
-Yellow flag
-Red Flag
DEBRIEF
-group debreif.....did we meet outcomes?
-did we hit all the key points
-individual debrief.....incoroporate in group, or talk
one-on-one seperately, has outcome been
achieved, why/ why not.

3/3
Emergency Action Plan
1. Persons in charge: Instructor responding to emergency on the
water, raise red flag, the
instructor in charge of water sessions will respond and take
charge of person(s) injured, and
ensure other personnel on water are safe (or a delegate)Senior
Officer on land will be in charge of overall scene management
Officer manning the boatshed radio is the CALL PERSON, who will
call EMS to scene, report to
Instructor and senior officer that EMS IS EN ROUTE, send
personnel to meet EMS.
2. Activitating EMS.
Via cell phone of senior officer on land, officer manning
boatshed.
If no cell phone is present, telephone is located at the Park
office, ~200m south.
3. Emergency Numbers
911 - all EMS services
Contact Numbers for personnel - carried by cadets escort
officer, staff numbers on file at
boatshed
4. Medical information - contained in cadets swimming files,
health card info carried by escort
officer (verfied by trg O at beginning of day)
5. Directions to EMS- Simcoe Muskoka Geneva Park
Located approximately 2 km north of Casino Rama, on Rama Road,
signed Simcoe Muskoka
Geneva Park
6. First Aid Kit - one in each coach boat, one in the boat
shed.
PLAN:
Once instructor assesses emergency and notifiies other personnel
via visual, auditory, and radio
signals, all personnel will proceed to shore, and a head count
will be performed. Instructor in
charge of medical emergency will administer First Aid, all other
instructors/officers will assist in
assuring timely EMS response and ensuring all other souls return
to land safely.
