The Optimist is the most popular junior sailing class worldwide,
with thousands of young people actively racing them and hundreds
attending the major events in the class. It has been the nursery
for most of the top racing sailors in the world including all the
Team GBR gold medallists at the last 2 Olympics (Sir Ben Ainslie,
Hannah Mills, Saskia Clark and Giles Scott) - the same will be true
for most other countries. Optimist Racing is written for those
sailors, parents and coaches who are looking for success in this
competitive class. In it you will learn what it takes to win,
including how to achieve blistering boatspeed through technique and
tuning, perfect boat handling and tactics as well as covering the
mental and physical requirements for success. There is also a
section for parents and coaches describing how they can best
support their young sailors. Originally written by Ben Ainslie's
Optimist coach, Phil Slater, this new edition has been completely
updated by top international racing coach, Steve Irish, who can be
found coaching Optimist and other sailors worldwide. This book is
the up-to-date handbook for sailing an Optimist fast.
