Racing

Why do the same skippers always seem to be at the front?  How do they get there race after race?

To win races, you only have to do a small number of things well:

  • Maintain your boat and equipment.  Breakdowns and flat batteries don't win races.

  • Get your boat performing at least as well as the top three boats in the fleet.

  • Sail competently.  Execute basic manoeuvres proficiently.

  • Know the rules.

  • Have a plan.
