Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Worst sailing book everFirstly, I greatly respect the personal and professional achievements of the author. I am at best a mediocre racer. I have been sailing for more than 30 years and have read everything I can get my hands on re the sport. I read every one of these multiple times and always got something new from them. This book is worthless. Organization is random. Sidebars are mostly irrelevant digressions and the photos with captions have nothing to do with the text. I don't think I learned a single ... Read More Rating:  - One of the best I've readI've been racing sailboats off and on for about 30 years and read numerous books. This is the best compilation of wisdom I have read. There is a pearl in almost every paragraph. It is not for the novice, however, because you often need some background to understand the pearls. It covers virtually every aspect of getting around the race course and doing well. I race a J105 amd am buying one of these for each member of my crew.

This book is an outstanding to everybody wanting to improve his or her perrformance on regatta. Gary wrote about all tips he learnt during his career and give you advice on everything. With this book you will learn all the basis to really improve yourself in wind lecture, tactics, start, finish, performance and team management. This book may be read from beginner to expert. But the best target audience is intermediate ... Read More Rating: - Packed with useful informationI'm new to sailboat racing, having finished my first season of racing on my new boat last year. And I didn't do nearly as well as I should have given my boat. I immediately identified from every chapter things I was doing wrong, at the starts, trimming sails, communication on the boat, and in how I was organizing the crew. I marked specific pages with sticky notes that I especially wanted to refer back to and by the time I was done with the book I must have marked 40 pages. The book has tons of ... Read More Rating: - Very niceA very instructive reading for those who looks for a sail teacher who is a natural leader and a national hero, I liked very much.
