If it is a matter of experience, it seems SCA’s participation is an essential step toward women sailors gaining enough experience to be more competitive in the future. Doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking at the present, I’m sure.
Yeah. At the moment they’re hampered by the legacy of the previous lack of opportunity. But every mile in this race adds to their experience. And the current poor result is part of that experience they are gaining — arguably the most important part of it.
I’m sure it’s disappointing, given their years of preparation and the dreams they probably had of doing better. But the feedback they’re getting is honest feedback, and it gives them the same opportunity to identify and fix their shortcomings that made the more-experienced teams as good as they are today.
