Best book on how to sail everReviewed by Simonedwest on 18 Oct 2023
I’ve been sailing and racing for 35 years. One of my problems is that racing has been on and off over that time. Now I’m racing more I’m getting frustrated at our lack of progress. However, this book is so clear and so accessible I believe our performance or at Le last my confidence in our performance is going to blow us away!!
Very good book on sail trimReviewed by Asbjorn.laursen on 17 Feb 2020
From what I have read untill now it is very well explained and with good illustrations. It defently lives up the the expectations.
No nonsenseReviewed by Miketkearney on 11 Nov 2017
Concise, no nonsense, plain spoken advice that you can actually use, practically.
