John is a fearless helmsman. He understands it all. He sees it all. Even when he’s concentrating on the helm he sees the bigger picture. <strong>Mariquita</strong> is very difficult to steer … she doesn’t<br />

give you much feedback because of all the friction in the steering systems. Modern yachts have sophisticated roller bearings which reduce friction and therefore give you more feel,<br />

especially in light conditions. In contrast, <strong>Mariquita</strong> is not telling you what is happening through the rudder. Your only option on the helm is to stay focused.<br />
