When I was on camp there, acquiring the skills to pass my Seaman's Badge (a different route to becoming a Queen's Scout) I was allowed to rig the whaler and sail it. Tacking up against wind and current was "very interesting" - I'd no sooner paid off on one tack before it was time to go about again!
