Layline drill
The idea of this drill is to start and head up wind towards the 3 top marks, practicing getting the roundings just right on their laylines.

- Approach the first mark on the starboard layline,
- Do a circle around the mark and head for the second upwind mark on the port layline.
- Circle around this mark and head for the third top mark approach in the starboard tack.
- From here head down wind circling all three marks on the way to the finish.

This is a really fun game to play with sailors of all ages and a great opening day or camp activity.
