Info

We had a lot of new faces in the regatta crews in 2015. Very good sailors but not <strong>Mariquita</strong> sailors. The modern sailors know how to sail and race better than us to be honest. But it’s not the same thing on a classic – what’s a topping lift … what’s a jigger?! They don’t know the terminology but then again it doesn’t take them long to pick it up. It’s probably easier for them to learn the classic way than the other way around but it’s a challenge for everyone. The loads are much bigger … we don’t use power winches. On a modern boat the next manoeuvre is one click away. On <strong>Mariquita</strong> it’s about the strength of the crew as opposed to systems so everything takes longer. It’s a big learning curve. George Newman 306
The way these classic boats are sailed today is really the same as they were sailed a 100 years ago. There is manpower but also timing, balance and a sheer confidence amongst the crew. There is total commitment from everyone on board. It’s very impressive. Robin Whitefield 307
