Better Sailing by Bob Fisher
This fully-illustrated book is aimed at competitive yachtsmen at all levels in every class or type of sail-driven craft. The author is a World Champion yachtsman who has a wide experience of every kind of sailing: monosails and dinghies, day keelboats, inshore racing’, ocean racing and multihulls. His purpose is to help every reader become a more knowledgeable and, therefore, a safer and more skilled sailor.
Separate chapters on the different types of sailing craft explain — with the aid of photographs and diagrams — how to keep your boat in racing trim and how to get the best possible performance from it in all weather conditions. A final section on Tactics and Strategy is applicable to all classes of sailing boats and gives detailed advice, drawn from Bob Fisher's own first-hand experience, on race-winning techniques such as luffing, covering and efficient tacking and rounding the mark. This book will be indispensable to every keen sailor.
