Keep the boat upright. Uni, under spin, that's more difficult than you might think. Especially first time out.

Steer straight down wind when setting or retrieving the spin. That isn't the most efficient way to do it, but in the beginning, it's probably the only way to keep the boat upright.

Be prepared to go deep. If you're sailing the spin "hot", there is little time to react to a puff, you must anticipate.

Be sure to have a righting line and understand the righting procedure thoroughly.

Most importantly, have fun! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
