Dennis Conner quotes:

My goal in sailing isn't to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent over the long run.

Sailing is just the bottom line, like adding up the score in bridge. My real interest is in the tremendous game of life.

Design has taken the place of what sailing used to be.

While the (America's) Cup is yachting's Holy Grail, it has also come to represent the ultimate test in 'the game of life.' Just as in life, success demands commitment and commitment demands a positive winning attitude. I told all the guys who came into our Cup campaign that if they were going to make the grade they needed three essential ingredients: attitude, attitude and attitude. I wanted commitment to the commitment. When they finally made the crew, some of them joked that they ought to be committed for their commitment to the commitment.

If you can visualize it, you can actualize it.
