Practicing the use of radar provide you with an edge when you really need it. We sailed from Sandoy to Hestur (the faroe islands) and the fog prevented us to see the islands. When we were arriving at Hestur, the radar and navionics help us identify the ferry which was heading to Hestur as well, so, we made a U turn to give the ferry priority to head in first. Then, the tide was running fast, so Skipper Chris did the ferry gliding to let us have a smooth and safe entrance.

Some time the fastest way to improve is by learning from your mistakes. The team on GTR Racing were hugging the shore to shelter from the on rushing tide, they pushed it a little to much and found the bottom which acted as an instant hand break. Luckily only the the skippers pride was hurt as they bounced off the bottom releasing the hand break allowing them to push on for a racing win.
