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.
