Plateau in the frustrating way off the water

Well I have to realise two things: I have not actually been plateuing I have been going rusty, and the wall I seem to have hit is actually just a frustrating plateau of trying to break in to the scene in OD here.


I am swimming around in areas I should have been able to get past in my native Scotland but you know, even there it took time to get into good OD.

One Design racing (OD) demands not only an owner with a well prepared example of the species, but also a certain fluidity with the crew. Many OD winners have sailed together for years and fill spaces by hiring rock stars.

Handicap racing was actually a high plateau for me and I never saw it: winning and being up there in the top 5 was actually plateauing for me in HC and NOT peaking! Well maybe a bit of both.

Now I have fallen back and I am just there : rusty. But the only way to sharpen the tool for me now is in OD.
