Sailing 9 years ago 30,300 views
One of a series of NS14 Training Videos featuring Peter V sharing some racing tips and practical "how-to" demonstrations to help the average NS14 sailor improve on the race track. Filmed just after the Nationals in Teralba, January 2015.
Regarding the centreboard. The NS14 has a dagger centreboard although the dingy I sail has a swing centreboard. Lifting the centreboard moves the pivot point AFT? Do you recommend lifting a swing centreboard to windward as the wind exceeds your optimum wind speed? I have not tried lifting the board to windward in a stiff breeze although will it make the boat want to round up...more lee helm.....or the opposite?
