Minerva: prow to the future

Source: own
We are less than a week away from the start of the season of Vela Latina Canaria and the boats are getting ready, soaking their hulls and maneuvers, with the first edges against the wind, pulling the sheet, to get as close as possible to the wind to seek the spirit and soul of the boats, which were born to face the wind and become the first.
The Minerva has not been left behind. This season we have been in the water since the second week of February, with the renewed hopes of going to the Tunnel to compete as we have always done, with the humility and veteranship that the 85 years of existence have given us, in which we have been up, in the middle and, also, down, but we have never lost the attitude of going out to compete no matter how strong the winds were; the Minerva has always been, is and will be there.
So here we are with the bow looking to the future, but also looking to the past to learn from our mistakes and know that objectives and goals are achieved with work, with a lot of teamwork. There is no other choice.
In the end we are left with the moments lived, those that led us to victory, but also to defeat, and those moments will continue to shape our history, that history of which we feel so proud.
