Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Manoeuvre the sailboard.

  1. Comply with waterway rules throughout all activities, including use of sailboard within permitted areas.
  2. Determine sailing direction and move off, on a beam reach, at right angles to wind, using crossover technique and appropriate stance.
  3. Control power by easing the sheet hand.
  4. Steer and turn sailboard by leaning rig forward over the bow and backward over stern.
  5. Use tacking and close hauling to achieve upwind goals.
  6. Manoeuvre sailboard around a triangular course and steer sailboard efficiently on all points of sail.
  7. Safely approach, and negotiate obstacles and hazards to minimise risk of injury.
  8. Perform emergency stops to avoid collision, and use techniques to avoid head injury when falling windward.
