This breakthrough book on dinghy racing will help you make the
transition from weekend racer to world champion. Covering
everything from where to look and getting 'in the groove' to mental
approaches and championship sailing, you will be working your way
up the leaderboard in no time. Packed full of intelligent insight,
brilliant top tips and engaging photo sequences, if your goal is to
win then this is the book for you! Written by the 'Champion of
Champions' Nick Craig - an amateur sailor - this book proves that,
with the right tools and enough determination, anyone can succeed
in the sport of sailing. In his foreword Sir Ben Ainslie writes how
he himself has used a lot of the techniques that Nick describes in
the book, and remarks that Nick is "one of the best...This book
allows anyone to gain from his experiences".
Unless you have unbeatable boatspeed, tactics are vital to winning
sailboat races. Multi-champion, Nick Craig, shows you how to
develop a strategy and what tactics to adopt on every leg and at
every mark of the course. His first book, Helming to Win, was
described as "original, thought provoking... like no other that has
gone before it". He now turns his highly analytical mind to the
subject of tactics. He discusses the inputs into strategy, starting
and the race plan (going through each leg in turn). Nick then
tackles mark tactics, covering every different type of mark, and
fleet tactics on every leg of the course. He finally focusses on
boat-to-boat tactics, again on every leg of the course. In each
situation he covers attacking and defensive tactics, either to get
ahead or make sure you stay ahead. Non-spinnaker, symmetrical
spinnaker and asymmetric dinghies are all covered because Nick has
won world or national championships in each of these types of
boats. Having read Nick's first book many said that it had
transformed the way they sailed. This book will have the same
effect on your tactics and should see you moving up the
leaderboard.
