Sailfaster: The Podcast For Racing Sailors

In this episode, world-class sailor and coach Steve Hunt shares hard-earned lessons from his career — from his early days sailing in Virginia to competing as tactician on TP52 Wizard. Steve opens up about the intense learning curve of big boat racing, the importance of preparation, and how even small adjustments in sail trim and decision-making can have huge impacts on performance. He dives deep into starting techniques, teamwork, mental preparation, and why trusting your instincts is just as important as trusting the instruments. Whether you’re racing dinghies or grand prix boats, Steve’s advice will help you think faster, sail smarter, and chase your best results yet.
