Owner-reported racing lesson. Dates, classes and official event names are still being checked against records.
Repetition feels productive. In racing it can also rehearse a bad line until it is fluent. I had to learn to practise with a question: what am I changing, and how will I know on the next run whether it helped?
Right practice was specific. Propeller choice for the water on the day. Weight where the co-pilot could actually use it. A start procedure we had both done enough times to trust. None of that is glamorous. All of it showed up in the result.
The insights on this page stay close to that standard. They are lessons from one career, reported by the racer, not a coaching certification and not a promise that the same adjustment will win someone else’s race.
