Field notes

The start trainer runs a two-minute sequence against a biased line and scores the fleet at the gun; the wind-shift drill compares a sailor with an optimal ghost and offers a replay of lifts and headers. The cockpit panel says its standings and waterline rungs share a metres-based measure, while local shift, pressure, and dirty-air cues feed a “hold or tack” call.
