Maybe categorize this one under mental check list. Ok, so you've practiced tacks, mark roundings, starts, jibes, pretty much everything. Some things are perfected, some still need work. Now it's regatta time. Set aside working and concentrate on doing. Set your mind to simply checking in as you execute any maneuver. Go through your mental checklist and ask yourself "Am I fast, how should this tack go, control my spot on the line." The reminder is "Always be fast" if you can keep the level of concentration high and move through your mental checklist your end result will improve dramatically. Remember you're not out to beat the next guy you are out to minimize your own mistakes and optimize your own performance.
