In this episode, we hear from another member of the
Afterguard, Sten Mohr, the
boat's Tactician. His primary job is to recommend to
the helmsman when to
jibe (turn away from the wind) or tack (turn into the wind) so the boat
travels the most effective course to the next racing mark. Sten is a Danish
match racing veteran ranked highly by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).
He was the first European to be ranked as the number one match racer. Sten
recently sailed on the Victory Challenge Team and has achieved several Grade
1 victories.
