Important points in the first lesson:
1. To learn how to reduce speed or stop by opening the main sail.
2. To learn how to start the yacht from standing still. Method A or Method B.
3. To check how long it takes from various points to the start line.
4. When countdown started, start the yacht before the time that is required to the start line.



There are two rules.
1. Right yacht preference (when coming from different direction)
2. Leeward yacht preference (when coming from same direction)



Important points in the second lesson:
1. Angle adjustment is also required for spinnaker that is wind-angle minus 90.
2. Raise centerboard while running before the wind. Be sure to down it before the next turn.
3. Preset necessary command in Button HUD.
4. Preset method is ‘button X command’, ex. button 7 spinnaker 80.



In the above condition, the yacht speed reached 6.8m/s which could be more.
To get speed, please refer to the previous lesson regarding DG-470. The principle is the same.
