Sailfaster with Steve Hunt

Pete Boland hosts Sailfaster, a podcast series where racing sailors discuss what it takes to sail faster and how races are won. In this episode, Boland meets up with three-time Etchells World Champion Steve Hunt.

“We discuss racing fundamentals that work at every racing level,” explained Boland. “Why is sailing in more wind rule number one? When should you prioritize pressure over shifts? And why does sailing towards the mark solve so many tactical problems?”

Steve also shares a simple way to recover from a bad start — and explains why, when racing gets complicated, the best sailors get back to basics. This is Part 1 of a two-part series.
