Some aspects of sailing can be a bit perplexing....
"Why is my sail doing that?"
"What is the wind doing now?"
"How did I end up head to wind?"
These are all common questions from our young sailors.
After all you can't see the wind.......
Cue Bubbles!
Bubbles twist and dance and swirl in the air currents.
In our Royal Yachting Association OnBoard sessions we use them to help understand the wind. We investigate gusts, headers and lulls. We look at wind shadows. We can even see the way wind flows over the sail.
A visible, practical demonstration really helps our sailors understand what's going on.
Plus it's lots of fun!!
Celebrating 20 years of OnBoard
Our Royal Yachting Association OnBoard sailing programmes help develop resilience, confidence, and teamwork. Even from something as simple as two sailors learning to balance a boat together.
