Tips, Tweaks, & Techniques
This is the area where you can find out how to set up and sail
& or race the ISO.
This Tips & Tweaks section has been created to help all ISO
sailors get the most enjoyment out of their ISO, whether it be racing
on the ISO Circuit with all the other ISO's around the country,
racing at their own sailing club, or even just having a blast around
and enjoying being out on the water. The main aim is to get those
dormant boats, which are laying in the various sailing clubs around
the country, back out onto the water.
So you have your new / second hand / unused boat up onto the slipway
and want to get onto the water, but the boat has lots of little
snags, which need sorting, or work doing on it, but you don't know
where to begin or even how to go about it. There are also those
little things you didn't even know about, that if you do, will make
sailing the boat so much easier. All hints and tips on this site
have been provided by various people within the ISO class.
First of all read this section and take note. The sub sections
within this Tips, Tweaks & Techniques section, have been placed
in order so you start at the top and work your way down. A good
tip is to print the pages out so that when you are next at your
boat, you won't forget what you've got to do.
