We also stepped a new mast on the boat. The old mast will be used in case of damage to the new one. There\u2019s always a risk of capsizing or dismasting with these boats, as evidenced last year, and we were keen to avoid having our season cut short prematurely by such an eventuality.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week, Team Leyton will set sail for Portugal so Sam can get in some training in singlehanded format before the racing season kicks off in April.<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"\" class=\" full-w \"><div class=\"team-full-container\" id=\"ori-team_full\">\n    <div class=\"ori-container\">\n        <h2 class=\"title\">\n            \n        <\/h2>\n        <br>\n        <div class=\"team-glob\">\n    <div class=\"full-team\">\n        <div class=\"full-team-img-container\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/leyton.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/02\/220203_LEYTON_\u00a9MK_354A6551-scaled.jpg\" class=\"membre-img\" width=\"486\" height=\"300\">\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"full-team-text-container\">\n            <p class=\"team-para1\">&#8220;We\u2019re going to follow up this launch with two months\u2019 preparation in false solo format (one or two crew will be aboard the boat with Sam to ensure the boat and the sailor are safe) with a view to the Route du Rhum, which is the season\u2019s main event after the Pro Sailing Tour. <br \/>\nThe only way to learn how to handle the boat singlehanded is to train on your own so you\u2019re doing all the manoeuvres yourself and can really get a grasp of the points that need improving.

It\u2019s worth noting that 13 women were able to climb aboard and benefit from the experience of Sam and Leyton Sailing Team over the course of 2021, some of whom have already joined the
