White Sail Level I – Section 1 covers safety with a look at the life jackets, actions immediately after a capsize and how to right a boat capsized. And elements necessary for a sailboat less than 5.5 meters long as outlined in the manual of navigation safety. Section 2 is Seamanship, Candidates must be able to bind to 4 knots within a given period and provide information describing their uses. And describe four ways to determine which way the wind is blowing. The third section deals with the preparation for receiving a winding line to sail properly do a quick line to a cleat and enter and exit a boat safely to a dock or at anchor. Chapter 4, the rigging, set sail, rigging and halyards, slats and mounting the rudder and tiller recruitment drive the sails and lifting. Section 5 covers boat handling, to get hold on the direction of the wind and current, the veil on the verge of cancellation during a boat stop in a straight line on a range of at least two minutes and righting a capsized boat and water drainage. The final section deals with the security and movement areas, front mounting only the bow and stern, and an anchorage, each with the appropriate size line and knot, and leaving an appropriate length of line. Movement area of the boat through the reduction and elimination of the sails, removing and stowing the rudder and tiller, and ensure good growth and drift. Folding and bagging a sail free. And finally, the backup gear in the boat at the end of the sail. After the White Sail I, the sailor will be able to perform the aforementioned tasks in wind speeds of 4-9 knots, if any

White Sail Level II -. Begins with a section on the terminology to describe the various parts of a sailboat by emphasizing define and describe the various functions in a sail boat, certain terms and describe the various points of sail. The second section covers seamanship, you are asked to allow me to tie and has a hook sheetbend each within 10 seconds, and describe two uses of each of these nodes. And describe the wave conditions in different wind speeds. The next section is boat handling are candidates to act as both pilot and crew while in progress and return to dock, mooring or beach. Act as helmsman and crew, with the appropriate commands and responses, while beating, reaching, walking, transfers, neck and head on. When stopping helm a boat on a predetermined point by luffing and both captain and crew, capsized a boat on the right. After completion of the above White Sail II, the sailor in a position of carrying on wind speeds of 4-9 knots carry

White Sail Level III -. A section on safety launches this section with a look at hypothermia and its causes, three ways to limit the dangers and rules to minimize a case of Benin handle hypothermia after the victim from the water. Identification and sense of color and shapes in the edge lighting system. List of local geographic and navigational hazards and describe the necessary steps to minimize their impact. Name three sources of local weather information with localized weather hazards, how they can be identified, the normal warning signs and steps to reduce their effects. Section 2 discusses in other words, different items in a sailboat, the different parts of a sail and the characteristics of different types of sailboats. Seamanship is section 3 with a view to sailing and return to a beach with an on-shore wind, a dock for various wind directions and a marina. Section 4 is on the rules of the road for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea, and keeps the case on ships and offer courses in different situations and looked a little common sense measures you need, when you navigate in the vicinity of commercial shipping. It is a look at the race with the sound signals and flags used to start a race, and rules which it is during the race in progress. Section 5 is the handling of the boat, the students both as skipper and crew while driving a boat to a dock work, is different from different directions, and return to Anchorage and a term wind / wind. They show how they affect the different positions of the occupying body out of balance and the performance of a sailing boat and give you the best positions for three given points of sail. You will receive a boat of iron in supporting the boom and significant adjustments to the rudder right. Paddle a sailboat a distance of 30 meters (100 feet) without using a rudder in a straight line reasonably. They show back up the following procedures to obtain towing the necessary funds, and threw a trailer, the correct towing points on a sailing trip on board the good get a rope, a boat in reverse and the boat proper trim, pilot procedures and the vigilance of the crew members and release the trailer. Point to take the action if a person falls overboard, the boat set sail shape when the person falls overboard without warning until the person is saved. They bar the boat through the wind of 90 meters without jibing and finally righting a capsized boat. On completion of White Sail III Beginners can safely and competently sail in winds of 4-9 knots and perform the above skills competently

Bronze Sail Level IV -. The first section deals with safety and factors in your area such as currents, tides and weather conditions before sailing should be considered. The three types of commonly found floating in canoes, and to identify factors that influence the capacity of a self-rescue dinghy and finally a look at the chart unknown waters and identification of hazards and ways. Seamanship is to splice in the next section and students their ability to end a row with a simple stick of proper length whip and splice heave and a line of 10 meters to the ground by an objective demonstration of 1 meter in diameter at least 7 feet in three out of four tests. The next section is further nautical terminology. The following is a theory of sailing, including flexibility and their impact on different points of sail. The center of lateral resistance (CLR) and the Centre of Effort (CE) influence wind and weather helm in the theory and practice, the weight distribution and adaptations drift effect on the CLR, the form-Marine boat touches the head, trim sails, mast rake and position on the CE and the bar, draft (fullness in a sail) and its impact on the power and ability to score a sail, use and position of the lights on shrouds and ticklers on a sail. The next section examines how to trim the sails and the mainsail is the case, tension, mainsheet tension, cunningham tension, the position of the traveler, outhaul tension, mast bend, tension-hale hit low and the inclination of the mast. And like the shape of the jib by voltage drop, voltage and position of the arc affected rope. The use of edge, Cunningham, and the mainsheet traveler, sailing on a beat, a reach and a run in the following terms. On the water students will be asked to skipper and crew of the boat at various points of sail and tacking and jibing. Perform self-rescue after capsizing of a boat and sail with a minimum delay of time. Complete the following tasks without a rudder, sailing course on a given target against the wind, make at least one edge controlled and moved, a course in the intended target, carry away or turn and return to the starting position. With sails backed, sail the boat backwards at a predetermined target 90 meters downwind. At the end of stage IV, the candidate will be able to understand and apply the basics of tuning and trim the sail boat for optimum performance in winds of 9-14 knots.

Silver Sail VI is an introduction to the race. investigated Starting with some sailing theory, as the effects of driving under the mainsail under different points of sail, and how the size of the fly with the wind for maximum drive type must be changed backwinding to identify how, and how to remove the sails can minimize or its effects, as the driving forces that are divided on the sail in front and side airbags, components, and how these vary for hitting and running, and as the resistance forces acting on a drifting boat / drift bar and act against the forces of the sail, flying and running. The apparent wind changes when gusts to slow to beat the sails and the waves, or accelerate and how to steer a boat and trim sails to changes in the apparent wind react and how to correct the effects of the forces that cause the boat to heel . In Section 2 of the Racing Rules, as set by the CYA and ISAF. Chapter 3 considers racing signals and courses including the purpose of the Race Committee, the Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions and the Protest Committee. Section 4 discusses tactics.

Start after starting too early to call back as soon as possible. Defend a position from another boat while at a stroke – by luffing and backwinding a boat pass attempts, until the mast abeam position has been reached and a reach or run – by avoiding blanketed with paddles or through the adoption of starboard tack. Back cover wind and show how a competitor to your advantage all on the same tack on the windward leg of a race track.
