If you get on the wrong side of one, you can be stuck there for ten hours (because of the wind patterns).

It has been a rough 15 hours. Yesterday afternoon [Tuesday] the wind came up to 30 knots from the south-east and some large and steep waves built up. We're launching off the waves at 11 knots and slamming down hard, making some awful sounds, so we even slowed her down for a while. You can't win if the boat breaks.

It was a great race today for all of us. The racing was really close and there were plenty of lead changes, so we all really enjoyed it.

We're definitely fully into it, but we're not changing who we are. We're still professional sailors.

Fights would not last, if only one side was wrong

Take sides! Always take sides! You will sometimes be wrong - but the man who refuses to take sides must always be wrong.
