Sailpower: The Science of Speed

Boatspeed really does make you a tactical genius.

Lawrie Smith and Andrew Preece are two of the fastest sailors in the business, what makes them so fast? We asked them, and their answers from the text of this book. They identify the key elements of boat speed, explain the theory of each - so you understand what you're trying to do - then show you how to use you're new knowledge to sail blisteringly fast.

You'll find, like them, that its more fun at the front of the fleet.
