The crew of a racing boat is as important as the helmsman - they
work as a team to sail as fast as they can. But different members
of that team have different roles in the boat. In addition to the
obvious roles which belong to the crew - trimming the jib and
spinnaker and helping keep the boat upright - the crew can also
contribute to tactics, boat tuning, watching the competition and so
on. In this book, Olympic gold medallist crew, Saskia Clark,
describes all that is needed to become a top-rate crew, or just be
a better crew at whatever level you want to compete at. She
initially takes you through getting started as a crew and team -
choosing a boat and setting your goals. She then turns to the
specific crewing skills of hiking, trapezing, tacking, gybing,
handling the spinnaker and having good boatspeed on each leg of the
course. The focus then turns to racing and particularly the roles
of each member of the team, communication, decision making and
execution around the race course. Finally, she brings it all
together with advice on how you can be the best crew and a great
team. Packed with photographs this is the ultimate book for crews
whether they are trying to win a championship or just wanting to
sail at their local club. If your helm doesn't buy it for you,
treat yourself!
