In sailing school we sail opti's and prams. There are 25 kids in my class. Sometimes the rigging is hard and sometimes it is easy. When the lines are tangled in the sail the rigging can take a while. We get towed out of the harbor by a motor boat. When you get out of the tow line you have to clip in the mainsheet to the bridle on the boom before we can sail. We sail out to the buoys and race around them. When we sail we go 6 knots on a windy day, or 4 knots when it is not so windy.
