Every year sailing teams across the sport spend thousands (if not tens or hundreds of thousands) on upgrading hardware to give the best chance of performance on the water, but how many teams invest in the most valuable asset on the boat – the people?
Sailing is a sport with hugely varying demands depending on the discipline and
conditions, from the dance like movements of dinghy sailing in light winds to the
strength endurance required for stacking sails whilst suffering from sleep deprivation in the Southern Ocean. I defy anyone to think of a sport where the demands can be so varied.
