1. Start near the favored end or in the middle. Simple, but not so easy. It means that you have to keep checking the wind direction and guessing where the other folks are starting. Buddy doesn't shoot for the boat end or the pin end. Just near it.
2. Room to leeward at 10 to 20 seconds to go. If you don't have Buddy's experience you may need to be practicing stopping the boat, holding position, turning cross wind and then back up to close hauled and stopped.
3. Hang close to the line in light wind.
4. Don't barge.
Now you can go out and do the Melges start. Don't forget the bow even and then sail faster. Have Fun..
