About this Quote

The America's Cup is a prominent sailing competitors that has been around since 1851. The quote by Dennis Conner is a terrific example for the competition. It is like a chess game on water, with boats as the pieces and tactics as the moves. The boats are the pieces that the teams utilize to maneuver around the course, while the methods are the moves that the groups use to outwit their challengers. The groups should use their understanding of the wind, the waves, and the other boats to get a benefit. The America's Cup is a complicated game of technique and ability, and the team that can outmaneuver their opponents will be the one that takes home the prize.
