    Sailing Basics Sailing your Wave Safe and sane guidelines for the beginner; and an easy review for the experienced. Balancing the boat When sailing, sit on the upwind side of the boat (wind on your back) just in front of the tiller, facing the sail. Balance your weight further outboard as the boat begins to tip or heel over with the wind in the sails.
