The 2020 Olympics don&#8217;t take place for twelve months &#8211; yet such is the professional determination of the team that they plan to spend a lot of time at the Olympic location between now and next year &#8211; getting to know the water; the weather; and the topography.<\/p>\n<p>Bekkering points out the logic behind this: .<em>..if you build up your sailing experience in a location, you begin to know what you can expect from the wind, weather and current \u00a0&#8230;and you can start to make a strategic plan for the day when it really counts.<\/em> In the image below we glimpse famous Mount Fuji on the horizon. Mountains, plains, cities &#8230;any topographical features alter wind direction and speed in predicable ways (though at unpredictable moments), and so getting to know what can be expected in a location gives you an edge.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17252\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image2_108437601.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17252\" class=\"wp-image-17252 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image2_108437601-1024x767.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image2_108437601-1024x767.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image2_108437601-750x562.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image2_108437601-768x575.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image2_108437601-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image2_108437601.jpeg 1468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17252\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount Fuji above the bow<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Annemiek Bekkering says she really appreciates having a whole year to focus on their Olympic Gold Medal bid. They have a new boat, sail and mast &#8211; so they can take all the time they need to try out the new boat and discover what combinations of rigging tension and mast bend is working well for them. Those combinations will be different for each team owing to body mass, and sailing style. You can&#8217;t materially change the hull or sail, of course, but you can set up the running-rigging to suit skipper and crew; and can change the position and shape of the sail by adjustments to the standing rigging. Working on those details makes your Olympic entry unique &#8230;and I got the impression I wasn&#8217;t going to get much information about that.<\/p>\n<p>Practical sailing rehearsals are ongoing of course &#8211; but I was surprised to learn that Mental Skills are practised just as hard.\u00a0<em>You can learn mental skills easily enough, but you have to keep practicing them just as you practice tacking. <\/em>Annemiek told me.\u00a0So every day there is something new to think about on the water- and where better to practice practice practice than Enoshima where the Olympic sailing events take place.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17255\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image3_108437827.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17255\" class=\"wp-image-17255 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image3_108437827-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image3_108437827-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image3_108437827-1500x1125.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image3_108437827-750x562.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image3_108437827-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image3_108437827-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/07\/image3_108437827.jpeg 1502w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Running into Enoshima with its distinctive tower<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Annemiek and team mate Annette were back home at the time of writing, but have left again, now, to spend another month on location.
