Teaching Newbies

This summer, 2011, I promised to introduce this fun sport to at least two(2) newbies, Dolores and Steven. My "lessons" always start on land and I have always been somewhat curious about the land simulators. With such a "tool", newbies could try uphauling, leaning the sail fore and aft, hooking in, tacking, etc. This fellow shows how he built one from a piano moving dolly, some metal and a toilet flange :-)
