Lesson in life

[ebb]

on google, will bring a bit more on this incredible small boat sailor.
At one time there were some photos of his times and tides.

Maybe it's a bit like asking a great impressionist like Renoir, how
do you hold the brush while painting a masterpiece?

But it would be marvelous to witness how Ernie finessed the tiller,
what exactly did he look for when the jibsheet was eased,
and what was he seeing, when he read the wind and currents....

As I understand it, he was always first...
Ernie Rideout never lost a race.

Could say, even this last one... well into his golden years.
