"Look at you guys, you have never seen the world~"
"I've already driven a motorboat, so why are you so excited about driving a boat?!"
"How can I not be excited, Mr. Ren? We are building a boat!"
"This can at least be considered the first contact."
"It's your first time. Isn't it normal to be nervous?"
Li Cheng replied with his neck stiff.
Ren Yan curled her lips and didn't bother about it.
Then he looked at the sailboats:
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you guys anymore."
"Now I will tell you how to sail a boat!"
As he spoke, Ren Yan casually grabbed a triangular sailboat.
“Let’s take this sailboat as an example.”
"The power system mainly consists of the steering wheel, the hidden oars and the sails."
"These are the three you mainly control."
"Among them, the steering wheel is connected to the hidden paddle, which mainly controls the steering of the boat."
"In movies and TV shows, we often hear commands like hoist the sail, rudder hard left, rudder hard right."
"These instructions are common on ships. I won't mention the one about setting sail, as you all know them."
"As the name suggests, full rudder means turning the steering wheel to the left or right to the bottom, that is, 90 degrees."
“These are easier to understand.”
"The most critical issue is the direction."
"When the rudder is fully turned left, the bow will gradually turn to the left. At this time, due to inertia and the overall problem of the ship, the stern will turn to the right until it is level with the bow."
"So, when turning, the main point you should pay attention to is not the bow, but the stern!"
"It's just like driving a car, but instead of driving a regular sedan, you drive a stretched Lincoln."
“So the overall control must be extremely meticulous, which requires a long period of practice.”
As he said that, Ren Yan jumped onto the triangular sailboat and turned the rudder to the left.
The ship began to turn in Class 9's eyes, and the tail began to draw a long arc, but the speed was always slow.
"I believe you have also seen that the turning speed of a ship is not as fast as that of a car. It takes a certain amount of time to buffer. You must also consider the possible problems that may occur during this period!"
“Try to make turns in wide sea areas.”
"In addition to these, there are also sayings like left one step forward, left two steps back, etc. These are all for controlling speed. Modern ships usually have these displayed on the steering wheel."
"But ancient ships relied entirely on sails to achieve this."
"Therefore, the use of sails is also a top priority in driving a boat."
"You can't just pull the sail down and let it move with the wind. You need to manually control its direction."
"As for the method of steering, it is done by ropes on the sails."
As he spoke, Ren Yan pulled the rope beside him, and the triangular sail naturally fell down. Then he wrapped the rope around his arm.
Control the steering wheel and the sail at the same time.
At this time, the service staff created an artificial wind and the sailboat began to sail gradually.
"Controlling the sails is a strenuous job, especially for larger boats. Sometimes it even takes seven or eight people to steer the boat together."
"The logic is simple: just turn the back of the sail to the direction of the wind and let it catch the wind."
"When turning the sail, you can control the amount of wind you take in, thereby controlling the speed of the boat."
After saying that, Ren Yan controlled the boat and made a circle in front of the people of Class 9 before docking.
It’s not that he didn’t want to continue sailing, but the arm that controlled the sail was a little painful.
Given the interaction between the rope and the wind, it is still difficult for someone who has not really practiced to fully control the sail.
Even though he had been instilled with system muscle memory, he did not have enough physical strength to support his long-term control.
This is also the reason why Ren Yan insisted on bringing Class 9 to learn how to sail.
This thing, just knowing it is useless, you have to practice...
After Ren Yan came ashore again, he gave a few more instructions and then asked the students to prepare to start practicing on their own.
At the same time, he also hid his arm which had some marks from being bruised.
Letting them experience it for themselves will definitely have a much better effect than saying it yourself.
However, just when the students in Class 9 were preparing to choose their favorite sailboats and give it a try.
The service staff on the side came up:
"Sorry guys, you'll have to wait a moment."
"These are members' sailboats. We cannot lend them out without permission."
"So, please be patient, we will replace your sailboat with a new one right away."
After saying this, the waiter left.
Everyone in Class Nine was confused. They looked at each other's backs and then looked at their teacher?
Why is it that their teacher is fine, but they have to change when it comes to them?
Although we are newcomers, we can't treat people differently.
In response, their teacher simply shrugged, leaving everyone in Class 9 helpless.
There is no choice but to wait.
Fortunately, the opponent's speed was not slow, and after more than ten minutes.
Sixty-four new sailing vessels were already in place.
Although it is smaller than the triangular sailboat that my teacher had driven before, it is still a proper sailboat after all.
Class 9 put aside their previous doubts and boarded their respective sailboats happily.
Following Ren Yan's previous example, he steered the boat a few times to get familiar with the feel of the ship, then pulled open the sail and, driven by the artificial wind, sailed towards the distance.
It was not until they left that Ren Yan looked at the waiter as if asking a question.
The waiter smiled and gave a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.
Only then did Ren Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Teaching sailing?!
That's just one of the purposes...
