Checklist maneuvers

ask to Antonio, our skipper, prepare a detailed checklist for each of the rigging to the sails, so named during training until they become automatic.

For example, the simple maneuver of all, the turn, I think it can be decomposed into the following steps:

1. Ready to turn: the steering wheel pointed downwind and out of the leeward jib sheet cleats, hand-held.
2. Virata: spring over the steering wheel. The staple
3. no longer bears: the spring and cocks the bow downwind wheel bet.
4. New walls: cazza jib on the new wall, point the wheel for the next turn

The maneuver is best performed by two crew members: a loose jib downwind and fuck the steering wheel, while the other leaves cazza steering wheel and the bow. It sounds simple, but it five in a row it's easy to make mistakes and lose the synchronism.

Not to mention the tack at the mark with a show of spinnaker, or worse yet, in the jibe buoy lowered the spinnaker, which is the crucial moment in the race. On TV you see these things done by the crew of the America's Cup, and appear as usual; live is another matter entirely.
