Tidal flows are an important part of navigation at sea and have to be considered when plotting your course to steer. The gravitational forces created by the sun and moon on the rotation of the earth, affect the rise and fall of ocean water, this is called tide and happens twice each day. Such rise and fall of water levels causes changes in the depth of the water level and produces oscillating currents. These are known as tidal streams. Wind can further influence water levels and intensity of tidal stream. Learning to sail requires in-depth knowledge of seawater levels at all times.

Following an article I wrote on learning to sail with a spinnaker, I thought it may be worth introducing to the beginner and sailors that have not had the pleasure of using a spinnaker chute. Designed in America for the Flying Dutchman class it has proven it worth in many sailing races that allow the use of a spinnaker chute. Its is fast to hoist and lowering the spinnaker so in a race with light airs it can be a major benefit on time when hoisting around the mark.
