Firstshift - yacht racing intelligence

FirstShift is a yacht racing performance intelligence channel for yacht racing crews and skippers.

Most boats don’t lose races because something goes badly wrong.

They lose them because nothing is quite right.

This channel focuses on identifying and fixing those small inefficiencies — across boat setup, crew performance, and tactical decision-making — that add up to miles lost.

Built around the FirstShift Yacht Performance Framework, the content follows the real sequence of challenges every race presents, from preparation through to finish.

Expect:
– race strategy and tactical breakdowns  
– offshore boat speed and trim insights  
– crew structure, fatigue, and leadership  
– weather, routing, and GRIB interpretation  
– real-world coaching insights from international racing  

Designed for IRC, RORC, and serious crews who want to perform consistently — not occasionally.

New content released regularly.
