Upwind
Straight line
- When flat wiring, you should be;
- On your tip toes - gives better feel of the boat;
- Feet pointing forward and together;
- Your front shoulder should be dropped down towards the water;
- Looking forward & upwind, for any other boats / waves / wind / buoy spotting etc.
- Looking at your boat for potential problems and work rounds.
- If there is a tangle with the ropes, is it ok for now but when you tack it could cause a problem?
- Can you jiggle your jib sheet from where you are to help the situation?
- Do you need the helms assistance?
- Can you sort it but only on the tack - if so then tell the helm you need the next tack to be slow so you can sort the problem.
- Are the kite sheets round the end of the pole from the last drop - if so, sort it when you round the top mark and before you go for the hoist.
- Are the kite sheets trailing in the water? Get the helm to pass you the kite sheet to sort it.

Welcome to the new ISORacing.org.uk website for the ISO Class Association. This is the third version of the ISORacing website. The first version was launched back in 1999 with comments from the committee back then of "It needs to be professional looking, nothing amateur". Gradual tweaks and development lead to an RYA Communications award for the best class association website in 2002.
This new site is much more interactive, and quite a leap for the class. Current features of this site are as follows:-

3rd October was blowing the proverbial old boots. F5 - gusting 7!! It was looking promising for a seriously good blast - if not much racing.
After a lot of debate and hanging around Race Officer, Bob Joce, moved the race course to the East side of QMSC. Would anyone venture out? A few Buzz's staggered off the shore and wobbled out to the start line. After quite a wait to get everyone somewhere near the start line, the right way up, they did get away. Well done guys!!

Upwind
Straight Line
Sit forward - inline with the strops as a rough guide.
Tiller extension across your body in front of your body (dagger grip). Yes I know it is better response down at your side, but this way enables you to play the main better.
Look forward at the telltales and steer to them. Aim to keep the windward tell tale streaming 75% of the time and the leeward one streaming 98% of the time.
