The task

Back out of a slip, turn in the fairway and leave bow first.

Before you start

Short bursts in gear, then coast in neutral: that is how the drill is meant to be done. Stop with a bump astern. North is up; the wind arrow shows where the wind blows to.

A practice game with simplified physics, not instruction. What it leaves out.
