Challenge
as you round a mark and speed tack to m ake your move to
the next leg of the course, faster and cleaner than any
of the other competitors. Or the deftness required to
converge on a mark with a fleet of boats as you jockey
for the best position to round the mark, always knowing
that it is the skill of the skipper and crew that keeps
the yacht clear of a collision as adrenaline makes you
push for the max.
