At least the last review of the Star syllabus changed "edging the boat to
turn" to "edging the boat to assist turning", which emphasises the other
effect - in most boats, edging them shortens the waterline length, and
increases the effective rocker, making them easier to turn.

Alan,

Are you talking about the previous review, or the one being undertaken
currently?

I've heard that there are copies of the new syllabus available but
can't find a copy anywhere.

My son, also an L2, has made several attempts to find out from the BCU
but has never received any response on the subject.
