Exercise 7: Planing speed operation
Drill 2: Planing speed operation while turning
1. Accelerate to planing speed.
2. Combine right and left turns to make a series of circles and figure eights.
3. Repeat the drill, gradually increasing your speed and making tighter turns. Do not try to
do too much too soon.
Tips:
1. Get to know how the watercraft responds at lower speeds before trying to go faster.
2. You can make sharper turns at planing speeds.
3. Remember, as with any motor vehicle, the faster you go, the farther it takes to stop.
