“The best seamen are the quiet sailors who have learned a touch of humility during their affair with the sea.  Their seamanship shows in their attention to details and in their respect for what the sea can do.

“You will notice them on the docks by the way the have organized their decks.  You will notice them at sea by their quiet efficiency at sail.  We can all learn from them.”                                                       
Tony Lush,  Solo racer
