| July 3rd, 2001 <First Class Started> A lightning Class Boat is a 3 man boat, means it needs 3 people required to get the job done better. The 3 Jobs of the sailboat: -The jib man (front man) of the sailboat controls the sail trim of the jib and he sets the pole and he jibes it. -The middle man (Spinnaker Man) controls the trim of the spinnaker going downwind and is in charge of looking out for other boats and puffs going upwind. -The skipper is the one that is in control of the boat, steers it and trims the main sail. Knowing what side is front and back -Left side is the back known as the "aft" of the boat -Ok right side of these pictures is the front known as the "bow" of the boat.
