Amateur Sailor Vs Olympic Pro
Amateur sailor (Mozzy) takes on Paris 2024 selected athlete and professional sailor James Peters to see what really separates amateurs from pro's. With the help of James' sailing partner Fynn Sterritt the two helms go head to head in a series of sailing challenges using the @49ersailing the Men's Olympic Skiff.

Well done Tom, an excellent idea for a video and you handled the boat extremely well, by the looks of it to me. Would like to see this as a series with the final being a trot on the helm of an AC40 or 70...🤞👍
Class vid. Everyone should know Mozzy is a top dog sailor. I once saw him halfway up a beat about 13 years ago!😂 needless to say that was as close I got. Good wetsuit move straight out the primary school bag!
This is one of the most interesting sailing videos I have seen. The great filming combined with really clear discussion of what was happening really highlighted the techniques you were using, and made the impacts on boat speed very clear. Such impressive physical effort as well - watching the boat acclerate as your legs straighten is cool.
Great video, what amazed me was how consistent the professional tacks were on the chart.
Outstanding video Tom!
Great Video and my "takeaway" as we now enjoy using "managerese" talk in sailing: Your graphic comparison of the tacks and gybes and time/distance lost is a Biiig eye opener as to how precise your IT graphics are in general. Far easier to understand on dinghy's that average people sail rather than comparing top end sailing laboratories which is all a bit "over the top" compared with the best boats we'll ever get to set foot on.
Cracking stuff Mozzy as ever. Good luck in Paris boys, we're all rooting for you 🤙
Nice work Tom, looking forward to the re match on the RS800:-)
I loved this. Loved it! At age 60 I never really raced this kind of boat. Audrey and I finished up on RS400 and to be honest that was too brutal for us. Both of the Helm/Crew combos were top level to my eyes. Love the centre at Portland. We have popped in there for stays when cruising on our "bigger boat". We like to come and watch the young talent at the centre while having a coffee!
Great stuff Mozzy! You are making me dangerously close to purchasing a musto (used to sail contenders). I just need to work out how to get it past the wife !
Agree really enjoyed this thanks for posting
Great video! Now let's do it in the 800 and see the results!?
This is a great idea!
Awesome Technique!
Been looking forward to this one. Nicely done 💪 good video :D
Epic vid, subbed!
Very Good
I’ve not sailed the 49er, but I have sailed RS800 and looking at the comparison it looks like the pro’s kept the boat a lot flatter through the manoeuvres in particular the jibes, but overall it looks like you communicated well as a team and you seemed to be having fun. The 49er is a fab boat!
'''Joes vs. Pros" is an Outstanding Idea: Please please please expand this to 3-5 other boats....and create some kind of structured scoring grid for all of the assessment areas. 0=terrible, 5=pro-level skill or maneuver
well done.
