This drill is a modification of the Moving Sausage. In the Flower Drill, the coach boat can go wherever, and sailors must continue to go around both coach boat and buoy. This means the coach boat can move up to an upwind and sailors must recognize this and react accordingly.
Teaching Points:
- Points of Sail
- Sail Trim
- Upwind
- Always be prepared
Modifications:
- Increase/decrease distance between coach boat and buoy
- Move frequently and shake things up constantly
