Upwind, traffic decisions happen fast. And the biggest losses come from one thing: hesitation.
When another boat is crossing, you usually have two options: duck (go behind) or tack (turn away). Both cost something—your job is to pick the cheaper cost.
Most sailors react late. The best sailors decide early.

QUICK RULES
• If you’re fast and have a lane: ducking can be cheaper than a bad tack
• If you’re slow or pinned: tacking early can save minutes of suffering
• If you tack, make sure you have space and clean air on the new tack

PRO TIPS
• A “bad tack” (no lane, dirty air) costs more than it looks—avoid panic tacks.
• Ducking is not weakness. It can protect speed and keep your mode.
• If you’re already slow, ducking often makes you even slower—consider a clean tack instead.
• Crew callouts matter: one person calls closing speed, one calls space to leeward, one calls the lane after the move.
• The best teams have a default: “early decision beats perfect decision.”

Do you lose more upwind in shifts… or in traffic?

Meet Matyáš Mačát.
Naval architect, sailor, instructor and one of the founders of m2 yachting.
In the first episode of Inside m2, Matyáš talks about how sailing became part of his life. From his first family trips in the Adriatic and dinghy sailing at the age of eleven to racing, cruising and teaching.
Tell us your story. When did you start sailing?
Not yet? Come sail with us.

Ever felt like you were sailing well… but your position on the course kept getting worse? That’s often not trim. It’s current.
Current is water movement under the boat. It changes your effective track, your laylines, and even which side of the course is “favored.”
Most sailors look at boat speed. The best sailors look at track over ground.

QUICK FIXES
• Check current before the start (buoy drift, GPS track, or simple visual references)
• Think “where will the water push me?” not “where am I pointing?”
• Plan mark approaches with current in mind (don’t arrive from the wrong side)

PRO TIPS
• Upwind in current: you might need to sail a different angle just to stay on the same track.
• Downwind in current: your gybe timing changes—don’t wait until you’re late.
• The favored end can flip with current. Wind isn’t the only factor.
• Use fixed objects (shoreline, buildings) to spot sideways set early.
• If current is strong, the “shortest distance” route can be the slowest route.
• The best teams talk about current like wind: direction, strength, and where it’s different on the course.

Do you race in areas with strong current, or mostly “still water” venues?

Only 1–2 spots left for our upcoming Racing Essentials training! ⛵

This is not a week spent watching from the cockpit. From day one, you’ll be actively involved in running the yacht—setting and trimming sails, practising team manoeuvres, working with the gennaker and making decisions as conditions change.

Expect daily feedback, real teamwork and a final simulated race where you’ll put everything into practice.

Interested? Send us a DM or email [email protected] before the last spots are gone.

Downwind, it’s easy to get hypnotized by the boat in front of you. That’s how you get stuck.
Passing downwind is about finding a lane: clean air, pressure, and an angle where you can accelerate.
Most sailors follow boats. The best sailors follow pressure.

QUICK FIXES
• If you’re slow: change something early (angle or gybe)
• Look for pressure lines and sail into them
• Don’t accept dirty air—escape it

PRO TIPS
• Early moves are cheaper. Late moves are desperate.
• If you’re low and slow, you have no leverage. Heat up, build speed, then choose your path.
• Passing often happens on the edges of traffic, not in the middle of it.
• If you’re leading, protect lanes by staying in pressure and controlling dirty air behind you.
• Crew focus: stable boat + powered sail = speed. Speed creates passing options.
• One clean gybe into pressure beats three “comfort gybes” in bad air.

Do you find downwind passing easier on the inside or outside lanes?

At the end of the Sailor’s Pathway, here’s the most important message.

There is no "better" level.
Every skipper.� Every crew member.� Every sailor.....started somewhere.

Some people love being reliable crew.
Some dream about becoming skippers.
Some enjoy teaching.
All of those paths are valuable.

Sailing isn't a race.
You don't have to reach the highest level.�
You don't have to compare yourself with anyone else.

Keep learning if it brings you joy.
Take your time if that's what you need.

Because the best sailors aren't the fastest learners.
They're the ones who never stop enjoying the journey.
So tell us...

What level are you today?
And where would you like to be next?

COMMENT WITH YOUR CURRENT LEVEL.
