Helming in big seas or when you are out of practise can be slightly daunting wherever you are sailing in the world, but in our 'back to sailing school' series we re-look at sailing and how to remind ourselves of good technique in different situations.

Wherever you are sailing in the world, either here in Vancouver or anywhere, sailing is very dependent on the environment, so it is always prudent to follow a few rules of conduct when we are sailing in Vancouver, which can ensure that we have a negative impact on the environment surrounding us. Vancouver Island and the Gulf and Discovery Islands offer an environment of spectacular beauty and natural splendour, with magnificent rain forests, towering mountains, sparkling azure seas, remote untouched beaches and secluded quiet bays, so in order to keep the sailing waters around Vancouver island in the best possible condition for now, and future generations, then we need to follow a few simple rules in order to protect this stunning environment as best we can.
