Also, it helps to know all the right-of-way rules at the line and use them! And in Jake's case, the only reason he can go fast is that super-cool tapered mainsheet I built for him Trey N20 314 Layline Rigging www.velocitysailing.com

Posts: 3,355 Key Largo, FL and Put-in-Bay, ... | Funny, but at the Bay Week Regatta this year, I was rattling off bullets and way ahead of the pack. Someone sailed by and asked how I was doing it. I said that was the scary part. I didn't have a clue what I was doing right. When I lose, I always know what I did wrong, but when you are way ahead, it is hard to figure out what you are doing right.
I did have excellent starts, thanks to our doing fleet races here at PIB twice a week and getting in at least 8-10 races per week. Rick | | | Re: What makes you fast?

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
