SAILING STRENGTHS

     

1. Tactics and Strategy, Tactics and Strategy, Tactics and Strategy!

   

2. Expert rules knowledge.

   

3. Extremely competitive. I take my racing VERY seriously, but I still have FUN.

   

4. In-depth knowledge of racing instrumentation, data gathering devices, VPP's, Polars, etc.

 
       
       

SAILING WEAKNESSES

     

1. Driving the boat.  I simply just have not had enough time at the wheel/tiller.  My job has always been to focus on tactics and strategy not boat speed, so my driving time has always been limited (as it should be).

2. True offshore experience, as in ocean racing.  For example, races like

Newport-Bermuda, Marblehead-Halifax, etc.  Since I enjoy boat-on-boat tactics and

strategy, my skills are much more suited to round-the-buoys racing than the “navigational tactics” skills used for point-to-point racing.
