Melges 24 National Championship

I remember concluding from the last Volvo Ocean Race that the first 500 and the last 500 are often the hardest miles of a leg: the first because you need to acclimate, and the last because you remember all of the things you’ve missed. I think it tricks us into thinking we’re closer than we actually are. 500 miles is 500 miles, and that’s still a long way to go.
