Run, sail, repeat. The Three Peaks Yacht Race is the strangest and most beautiful team event in Britain — and a masterclass in trusting the person next to you.
Sail to a mountain, run up it, sail to the next one. The Three Peaks Yacht Race is the strangest and most beautiful team event in Britain, and nothing in my solo racing prepared me for it.
In an ultra, you answer to yourself. On the boat, your mistake lands on someone else’s shoulders — and theirs lands on yours. We became the first all-female crew to take line honours not because any of us was the fastest, but because we stopped keeping score.
Trust is not a feeling. It is a practice: saying the hard thing early, handing over the job you want to keep, sleeping while someone else holds the course.
The mountains were the easy part. The team was the adventure.
