Kristy Robinson on improving mark roundings, looking after your crew, and adapting to a new boat!
Manage episode 403991707 series 3537355
Today’s Sailfaster guest is Kristen Robinson. Kristy’s well-known on the east coast – part of a husband and wife duo who are not only devastatingly successful racers but also terrific fun. Kristy is a highly experienced and successful sailor, but also she’s a leader of multiple sailing organizations including board and president roles for J70 / 80 / 29 classes, and yacht clubs. On the water she’s always on or around the podium places whether Block Island Race Week on J/29s, 105s and 109s, or at North American Championships on her J/80 or J/109, or locally on the Chesapeake. She’s a really interesting guest given her experience racing so many boats - Laser, J/24, J/29, J/80, Vanguard, J/70, Etchells, J/105 and J/22 classes, J/35, J/109, J/88, J/24, Viper, Soveral 33, and Farr280…
But more than that, she’s a wonderfully warm and funny human being, who makes everyone feel welcome and included at whatever post-race sailing event is happening. Oh, and Kristy’s also doctoral candidate at Marymount University studying Business Administration.
