Handling a wind gust in a dinghy

Below, we have included a brand new animation that will help you better understand how exactly to handle a wind gust when you are sailing a dinghy. This specific animation, along with many more, will be going into our new Dinghy Sailing iBook “Your First Weekend in Dinghy Sailing.” The iBook will be available for download very soon, so be on the lookout.

In the meantime, take a look at the animation below. We hope you find it useful. For the kids, we have embedded some fun, hidden buttons that they can interact with.
