© Ian Roman/ Audi MedCup: Paul Cayard offering advice to Torbjorn Tornqvist
Interesting quote from Michele Ivaldi, the navigator on Torbjorn Tornqvist’s TP52 Artemis, about the difference between sailing with Russell Coutts and Paul Cayard, who’s Coutts’s stand-in at this week’s Audi MedCup in Cagliari.
“Paul is more analytical. He is more focussed on the numbers. We have established a good work on analysing the performance every day. Russell is a lot more instinctive. Russell’s style is very different and he talks a lot to Torbjorn, he has taught him a lot and made Torbjorn learn a lot, it is always great with Russell on board. Paul tends to let them (the crew) do the speed work themselves and talks a little less with Torbjorn.”
I’ve had some interesting chats with Cayard over the years. He has some great, simple advice. Here’s one on how to make difficult decisions quickly. A good lesson for sailing, but a good life lesson too. I’ve opened up access to this article from my membership site for just a few days only, so read it quick before it the shutters come down again:
