'One of the greatest aspects of sailing from my perspective is the simple aesthetics of the one design, especially the perfectly balanced starts.With the technical aspects of the boats identical, I really look forward to watching and listening to the tactics and crew work involved in leading and winning one design races. I am also very intrigued by the relationships on board the boats and the interplay between personalities and positions.

'Covering the B14s has been no exception. They are so fast and flashy, and having met quite a few of the yachties onshore, their personalities are just as vibrant.'

Jane is a regular contributor to www.Sail-World.com and has contributed a number of stories and pics to Australian and international yachting magazines.
