We used those basic elements, the wind and the tide,<br />

very much to our advantage this season. And in some<br />

respects we got lucky: on the upwind legs we had the<br />

tide behind us and on the downwind legs the tide<br />

against. Southwesterly wind, ebb tide, being able to<br />

go dead downwind. <strong>Mariquita</strong> really came into her<br />

own this season in the Solent.<br />
