Before the start, it is worth every captain and crew taking a moment to take a critical look at their base. Is the mandatory safety equipment on board? Is it in order and compliant? A well-prepared vessel means that the crew will be ready to react quickly in case of unexpected situations.
Once the technical details and safety have been checked, all the focus can be on what matters most in a regatta – a good start, smart tactics and a fast race to the next port. A safe base and a knowledgeable crew are the best prerequisites for a successful regatta.
