She instantly switched from an ordinary duty sailor to that experienced ASA instructor!
"Lin! Listen to my commands!" she shouted loudly, taking complete control at that moment.
"Copy that, Coach!" Lin Yu'an immediately responded, willing to follow her lead; this was her battlefield.
Riven stabilized the helm while quickly issuing orders, "I need to head the bow into the wind now, about 30 degrees upwind, turning the mainsail into a flag to relieve wind pressure!"
"Go to the main mast immediately and prepare to operate the furling line!"
"Got it!" Lin Yu'an quickly fastened the safety rope and dashed towards the main mast without hesitation.
"Wait a minute!" Just as Lin Yu'an was about to start operating, Riven shouted again, her eyes sharp as a hawk, fixed on the waves blurred by the rain ahead.
"No! The waves are too chaotic! If we go directly upwind, the bow will be battered by side waves due to loss of speed, and the hull will shake violently; you won't be able to stand!"
