We all make Mistakes. It’s what you do about them that counts
The lesson here is clear: To excel in sailing, one must remain at the top of their game. My mishap could have been prevented if I had been regularly practicing docking maneuvers in various scenarios and wind conditions – but the problem is this is realistically not practical. Even sailing 3-4 times per month, you just can’t be expected to experience all the docking situations you may encounter at any one time. This is where virtual reality comes into play.
