“Head out of the boat again”
Tactics wise, I sailed enough with my current set up to feel comfortable with it so I know when to change gear, go high go low etc etc and now I'm pretty on the pace, this means I get my head out the boat and think more about tactics and concentrate on those. I've made sure I've just gone through the motions and not done anything too risky to ensure I'm getting counters in which has certainly shown with the consistent results, no result outside the top 5 at the Nationals, all top 10 at the Nations Cup apart from two out of 10 races, not accepting my UFD as I still feel that was very unlucky and shouldn't really have been pinged by a non-anchored boat at the pin. It was only the top 4 that had 7 or more results in single digits at Como. The Nations Cup was 8-12 knots for the event and flat water, Nationals averaged 25 knots and certainly not flat water, confirmed the set up I have seems to cover all bases for me, and shows you don’t need to be 83kg to be competitive in the solo, you can be on the heavier side and still be competitive. Part of the the attraction to the Solo is, you can tailor your set up to you to make it work. What is 2026 looking like?, could be an interesting year, current plan is to do the main events including the Nations Cup and Nationals, so I will see you on the water.
