Winning RacesWinning Races

All You Need to Know to Improve Your Yacht's Performance

John Heyes

Winning Races is full of practical hands-on advice from the racecourse, based on John Heyes' wide experience of both keelboat and yacht racing. It will be welcomed especially by dinghy sailors moving up to bigger boats. Winning Races is written for sailors who have been racing for some time and are now ready to compete with the leaders. To do so requires an ability to prioritize those areas of the race that need improving first. The topics covered by the author include: Techniques for making the boat go faster; What type of sails are best and why; Mast tuning for different rig configurations; How to gain a good start; Tactics for the first leg; Improving upwind speed; Downwind tactics; How to approach the finish; Organizing a good campaign; Crew selection, training and management; and Developing a winning attitude.
