Will there be a sea breeze today? Will one side of the course have better wind? Will the wind shift during the race?
Wind Stratagy gives answers to these questions and many more. It gives a set of basic principles so that you can predict the wind's behaviour virtually anywhere in the world. It shows how the wind will shift and bend over the relatively small area of the racecourse, and how it is modified by: the sea breeze, the land breeze, gusts, clouds, cliffs, other boats, islands, the shore, currents, water temperature etc.
The book also gives specific advice for over 20 popular venues, from the Solent to Sydney. A first class book. 123 pages. PB.
