It is twelve feet long, slightly less than six feet wide, and roughly double the proportions of a bathtub. The intent of this manual is to introduce you to sailing the Hoofer Badger Tech and familiarize you with both theoretical and practical elements of sailing at Hoofers. Included within this manual is rigging the Hoofer Badger Tech, controlling the Tech, some sailing right of way rules and safety precautions to take before and during your sail. If reviewed both before and after your first couple Tech lessons you should be able to pick up the sport and earn your Hoofer tech ratings. It is important to remember to practice as often as possible as you begin to sail because experience will be valuable in the future when learning to sail other Hoofer boats.
