Always smiling, Stu Bithell is one of the most upbeat, most successful Olympic sailors of recent times. With a silver medal in the 470 and Olympic gold in the 49er, the British racer is also one of the most versatile. No wonder he's in demand for some of the high-end regattas such as SailGP and the new 69F foiling circuit.
Following on from two big-name Q&As last week with Robert Scheidt and Sir Ben Ainslie, this week's Road To Gold Q&A is on the topic of Tactics. Stu Bithell is perfectly placed to answer your questions on tactics, whatever speed your boat floats or flies through the water.
As the Merlin Rocket National Champion (one of the UK's most high-tech and hard-fought dinghy classes), Stu knows how to think as a skipper or a crew. Exploring that communications loop (which proves even more critical at 50 knots on an F50 foiling catamaran) will be another subject to ask him about.
Here are some of the topics on Tactics that we'll be looking at this week with Stu:
- Tactics - Making Good Decisions
- The Communications Loop
- Upwind - Boat-on-Boat Tactics
- Downwind - Boat-on-Boat Tactics
- G.A.S. - Gains, Angles, Shifts!
- Linking the Catspaws
- When to Take Your Foot Off the G.A.S.
