I never teach which way to move a tiller, only oh which way to send the boat. If you have a split second to make a decision, trying to remember the right rule for moving the tiller will delay you long enough to make the situation worse.

Memorizing rules of what to do in situations is a disaster waiting to happen. If the boom is this way and the other boat is that way and You're sitting on this side, and ...crunch. Learn how to make the boat do what you want, and understand how it works.

I thought you were going to show how to rig a boom preventer. In your experience is rigging a preventer a good idea, or more prone to produce accidents as the helmsman doesn't realize s/he is by the lee?
