Higher Performance Sailing: Faster Handling Techniques

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p>'Monumental!' - Bob Ross,<i> Australian Sailing</i><br><i></i><br><i></i></p><p><i>High Performance Sailing</i> is<br>now regarded as the bible of racing sailors and carries a string of<br>endorsements from high achievers. Since its publication in 1984, racing<br>yachts and dinghies have developed out of all recognition - a new<br>high-tech breed of 'apparent wind' fast racers has claimed the water<br>and so far no-one has applied themselves seriously to analysing what<br>makes these boats sail fast (and what will make them faster). This is Frank Bethwaite's ground-breaking achievement in <i>Higher Performance Sailing</i>.<br>By means of extensive research, and working with sailors of different<br>racing calibre, Bethwaite analyses how to harness the apparent wind<br>for increased speed and better position on your rivals. <i>Higher Performance Sailing</i> will<br>provide the key to racing sailors' dreams.</p><br><p> Praise for Bethwaite's High Performance Sailing:</p><p><i>'It represents a breakthrough...It is a book that my Olympic squad will benefit from.'</i></p><p>Rod Carr, former British Olympic Sailing Team Manager</p><br><br><p><i>'Allowed only one "if only" in yacht racing, it would have been to have read </i>Higher Performance Sailing<i> years ago.'</i></p><p>Bob Fisher, journalist, broadcaster and international championship winner</p>
