(waves crashing) (water splashing) (crank winding noisily) (wind blowing) - MAST Race Committee, MAST Race Committee.

This is Antonia 1-5-2-1-4, checking in.

- Racing is where you're trying to get around the race course as efficiently as possible to beat the other competitors.

(upbeat, spirited music begins) The smaller boats start first, and then the medium progress to the next start.

They're five minutes apart.

We're one of the last folks to start because we have a bigger boat.

(boat components squeak) In light air, sailing is more relaxed.

You have more time to plan your moves.

It's less stressful, less equipment failure.

As you get into stronger winds, more things can go wrong.

Things happen faster.

Equipment can break, possibility of collisions when there's more boat speed.

It's a combination of tactics, luck, crew work, equipment and the conditions.

(crank winding) Nice job, John.

- Yeah, you too.

(airy, upbeat music) - [Dick] It's challenging.

There's always something different.

Every time you come out, it's beautiful.

To be out on the water, just looking back as the sun is getting lower in the sky, I never get tired of it.

The water is relaxing.

- [Female Sailor] Good job.

Land ho!

- [Dick] The air is fresh out here.

I just enjoy it.

(sailing mast creaks) The best thing I think is that you make great friendships with the people that you sail with.

You work as a team, you try to help each other, and you get to know them.

And it's a great way to meet people.

We are competitive, but we're here to have fun.

I'm in my seventies.

I've been doing this since the early 1980s.

Let's get the jib down.

I believe anybody can do this with proper instruction that you can start at a young age, and you can sail all your life.

(upbeat, happy music)
