Before heading to Charleston, we talked to the 2014 fleet about this years Atlantic Cup. Here's what the teams have to say about competition, the mistakes they made last year and what to expect from them this year..."This race always attracts pretty high caliber sailors, and with relatively short legs, you have to be 100% all the time.  It’s the teams that are able to stay at full blast longer that will be successful." -Patrick O'Connor, Gryphon Solo II "I think we’re gonna do pretty well, definitely give everyone a run for their money.  I would say Dragon is the favorite, there’s a lot of experience on that boat." -Jake Arcand, www.JeffreyMacFarlane.com "Joe Harris never quits and Ed Cesare has proven to have a very fast learning curve. Any one could be at the front of the fleet." -Michael Hennessy, Dragon "We are the clear underdog in this race, but I feel that the combination of our experience will prove us competitive." -Kyle Hubley, Flatline "Last year we didn’t do a great job of keeping our position in the offshore legs. We started strong but didn’t finish well." -Rob Windsor, Dragon "Now Ed and I know when to push and when to back off.  We also learned that a somewhat more risky strategy is sometimes needed to make up for the limitations of our boat." -Chad Corning, Pleiad Racing  "I will let you know when we cross the finish line. Every team is the favorite!" -Frederic De Mesel, Flatline "I think Gryphon Solo 2 is our biggest competition, but Dragon's new modifications could make them a threat. Overall though our chances are pretty strong" -Jeff MacFarlane,www.JeffreyMacFarlane.com "I think our biggest challenge is to make as few mistakes as possible.  If we can sail smart and avoid any major mistakes either in routing or sail-handling, I think we stand a good chance of earning a podium spot." -Joe Harris, Gryphon Solo II "The book on Michael Hennessy is that you have to bump him hard off the line of scrimmage before he gets deep." -Ed Cesare, Pleiad Racing Who's YOUR team?
