Teaching the little ones, Kayla (11yrs), Alek (8yrs). Rigged their 1.9m^2 Ezzy kids rig. Attached a "super sucker" daggerboard to the underside of my X-Ray 155 liter board. Of course changed out my good fin for a smaller one that they could run a ground without me crying. Luckily everything worked in good balance and they were able to make their first reaches back and forth across the cove. It just took a little coaching from me for sail trim, sheet in, sheet out, lean the sail forward... I think next time they will be on their own.
