Dave and I have been sailing Jets for about 20 years. A Jet goes with you through different stages. I sailed as a junior, then with my brother, now Dave and I are a team. A Jet is a good boat to learn to sail in, to crew in, or to make the transition from crew to skipper. Organization, communication and attitude are very important.
Organization starts on shore.
Out on the water organization's making sure lines run free, the spinnaker's not twisted, etc. Test the spinnaker. Put it up before the race and stuff it slowly so at least it will go up well once. Dave and I talk pretty constantly. We talk about what we're doing.
