AC: At the first event in Korea, it was obvious a lot of sailors were a bit rusty with their race starts and general race tactics. This was the first event after a long layoff. Then you had the Black Team, who’d been practicing these things all winter, so we were ready. You can’t go to an event without proper preparation and do your absolute best. The whole thing is starting, gybing and dealing with the pressure for five days in a row of racing. It’s not just a question of testing if a sail is fast and if you have the right fin. It’s more to do with the actual racing. If you combine both types of preparation, for sure it’s the winning weapon.
