For a start, whether our sailing is recreational or competitive, we don’t do it on a static field, court or course like most ball sports, or even a static track like mountain biking or downhill skiing. The field we play on moves, sometimes imperceptibly, often unpredictably, and occasionally violently, under the influence of tide, current and wind. The main source of the power we draw from, using our physical capability and technical skills, is the invisible, turbulent, three-dimensional movement of the air around us.
