There are those who are naturally competitive and always want to test their skill against others. Some are less competitive but enjoy racing because it offers the best opportunity to get the best out of their boats. There is nothing like a few races to show you just how badly you are sailing! You will probably be itching to enter a race before you have read to the end of this book so Racing helps you to get on the startline as quickly as possible. Starting with the basics of choosing which boat to race and where to race it, successful international sailors John Caig and Tim Davison introduce the rules of racing and share their expertise on rigging, tactics, training, strategy and tuning your boat. The book is aimed at helms and crew - their skills are complementary and a fast boat is one with a good team on board. John Caig and Tim Davison have competed at World Championship level in Toppers, Lasers and Fireballs. Their years of experience will ensure a great start in competitive sailing.
