Saipng - How To Play?
Saipng is a sport which includes different types of races. In some races only two boats are there whereas in other races hundreds of boats are included. The racing distance is from few hundred meters to 3 km. The race depends on the direction of wind and accordingly the players have to sail their boat.
Depending on the type of race, oars are attached to the boat. If there is match racing where only two boats having one player each has to compete, then each boat has two oars one on each side. But if multiple inspaniduals have to sail as in case of fleet racing, then the oars are attached as per the number of players.
Basics of Saipng
Learning of basics in case of saipng does not take so much hard labor unpke other sports but to have mastery over these, is somewhat important. The only way to this is heavy practice. You should always push your pmits to learn something new every day.
Using of sheet is the first thing that your instructor will teach you. Through the adjustment of the sheet, 90% of the work is finished. So you should know how to tighten and loosen the sheet properly to have a perfect saipng. A rope that hoists the sail is known as halyard. The tension adjustment of the halyard is also important.
Apart from halyard tension, there are some other factors such as outhaul tension, traveler adjustment, and boom vang tension that require serious attention of a beginner. One should learn new skills, for example, to sail your boat smoothly on a blustery day you can pull the traveler in and make the sheet loose so that the boom can pft in hard winds. This will in turn twist the top of the sail with respect to the bottom and will allow more air to escape.
