Box Starts

This drill is great for Green Fleet and Level 3 who are just learning to race. Sailors must stay within the box for the whole start sequence.

Teaching Points:

  • Learn not to go too far from the line
  • Starts
  • Learn to race

Modifications:

  • 2x false starts, then do a real race to a windward mark
  • Play ball tag throughout the sequence and whoever has the ball at the start gets a point. Most points at the end of the session has to do a task (ie. 5 pushups)
  • For more advanced, decrease the size of the box
