Most books on sailing theory are incomprehensible at best. Unfortunately, in this technical sport, seat-of-the-pants sailors are no longer able to compete. This instructional from one of Britain's leading competitive sailors and the technical editor of several leading sailing publications interprets the sports theories in an easy-to-read and lively style that's completely illustrated with photographs and diagrams. The authors show readers how to apply this new knowledge to their own sailing and use it to win.
