Sailfaster: The Podcast For Racing Sailors

Maximising boat speed, and the art of simplicity, with Guillaume Seynhaeve


Listen Later

This week I sat down with Guillaume Seynhaeve—seasoned racer and accomplished helmsman—for an engaging conversation on the art of driving a keelboat. From mastering boat speed to simplifying race strategy, Guillaume eloquently shares invaluable insights gained from decades of sailing experience, including everything from semi-circumnavigations to competitive world championships.

It's an episode I was really looking forward to, and it didn't disappoint!  We dive into starting line tactics, the importance of rig tuning, the concept of “feel” when helming, and why simplicity is often the key to success on the water. Guillaume’s passion and clarity make this episode a must-listen for sailors of all levels.

 

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills or gain a fresh perspective on racing strategy, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and thoughtful philosophy. Join us for a fascinating masterclass on driving fast and smart!

Note that my new studio needs to be optimised for sound...apologies if it's a bit boomy in places.
