Owner-reported racing lesson. Dates, classes and official event names are still being checked against records.
No one wins this sport alone. The pilot handles steering, throttle and race decisions. The co-pilot moves weight, balance and timing. The job titles are simple. The trust is not.
Around my first ocean victory I changed co-pilots, and the racing entered another chapter. A good partnership is felt when the boat settles without a discussion in the middle of a wave. A poor one is felt just as quickly.
