Help! How to teach someone to maintain heading
If your partner can sail compass course reasonably well, use that. Give a compass course close to where you want the boat pointing (into the wind, or whatever) and you''re done. If the wind shifts, tell her to go 5 or 10 or however many degrees to starboard or port. After a while your partner should get the hang of what you''re trying to do. Perhaps point out the masthead fly as an aside. (Focusing on that, as a beginner, could make someone nuts!)
