Even in the heavy weather, the relationship didn't change. Any practical issue on board, Paolo took care of including all of the sail changes and I focused on driving the boat. Paolo and I are a match made in heaven for Double Handed, we were able to win our class and fourth overall because we are a combination of a sailor and a seaman.

Here the skipper counts more than in any other race. Off course, probably you can count by the fingers of your hands the sailors that have the ability and the potential to do it and that is one of the things that make this race great: The boat counts but only the best have the ability to sail one of these monsters solo. Crazy? not more crazy then sailing on of the maxi trimarans solo (and they do it).if someone has the balls and knowledge to do it and the rigging is adapted. There is a snag.someone would have to sail the huge Comanche solo :-).because this is a solo race. You can pick the fastest mono-hull in a transat, that is certainly the new Comanche, and race it on this race on the class of monohulls bigger than 39ft (minimum size is the only limitation). ![]()
