Editorial Review: Product Description: A complete course in the fundamentals, Getting Started in Sailboat Racing dispels the sport's elite aura and makes racing accessible to any sailor who wants to give it a try.

Average Rating:
 Rating: - SolidI am on my second reading of this book. Very good. Packed with knowledge on general racing rules, tactics and strategy. Good chapters at the end on trim. Rating:  - Becoming Proficient at Sailboat RacingThis is a very well written book for the novice sailboat racer. It tells you everything you need to know to get started, however there is much more involved than just reading and understanding. There is much material to grasp and absorb, too much to take in during one reading. During my first series of races after I finished the book I still came in last place, not because the book was inadequate, but because the learning curve for racing requires much practice. Buying and reading this book is ... Read More Rating: - Must Have Sailboat Racing BookThe title of this book can be a little misleading. It provides a wealth of information for racers of all skill levels and experience, presented in an easy to understand format. The authors' styles are entertaining to say the least. The best value I've found yet for books of this type. Rating: - Sail boat racingThis is got to be the most informative book on sailboat racing. Just reading it once will give the reader many basics on how to enjoy better performance on the water. Studing the material will ensure the reader would become a better racer and competer. Rating: - Awesome for the beginner racerI have to say, this book got me to second place in a regatta filled with 4 and 5 year racers. It is clear and consice and takes into account the fact that you may or may not have ever raced before. Principals are clearly explained in everyday language and the important rules are explained.
