What this video covers

Eirik Verås Larsen, described as the world's best paddler and sports director for the Norwegian national sailing team, sails for the first time aboard a racing boat crewed by national team sailors.0:05 His assigned tasks are tacking, gybing, and moving his weight to the fast position as quickly as possible.0:40 The conditions are cold, not a mild summer day, but Larsen notes that focusing on the task makes the cold easy to ignore.0:53 The national team crew — Line Flammehøst on the helm, Julie Jacobsen, and Tirel Bue — has been working to learn the unfamiliar boat, and the two most recent races produced their best results: third and fourth place.1:15 Larsen acknowledges the team is still on a learning curve with the boat, and that a fourth crew member who could actually sail would have helped them considerably.0:29
