Skipper
Also called: chef de bord, capitaine, marin, navigatrice, navigateur solitaire
The sailor in command of the boat, responsible for it in the race.
The skipper makes the decisions on board: strategy, safety, managing the boat. Single-handed, they are alone on board; double-handed or crewed, they lead the team. They often carry the project with the partners. The directory has a page for each skipper, with their race record.
