Winning in One-designs Paperback – May 30, 2005

Good book for sailors looking to improve.It's a 2005 edition (no update since then?) so watch out for rules that are slightly out of date (e.g. page 162 refers to rule 17.2 in an example where a windward boat must not sail below its proper course -- rule 17 no longer constrains a windward boat).But that's a very minor complaint.

This is still my favorite source of racing strategy and tactics advice. I've given it to several of my high school and college racers.

I've read this book a couple times. And will continue to use it every winter to get ready for the season. Very good explanations on some basic and complex situations. Would have given 5 stars except a bit too much reach mark stuff. We haven't done that in 20 years.

One of the best I’ve read.

I'm new to racing and this book was an easy read with loads of good information.

Hands down, read it! Skip Stuart Walker's books. Written by an experienced sailor and coach with real world sailing experience!

Good book to furthers one sailing techniques. Informative on the understanding of true sailboat racing. Best to have racing history before attempting this book writing. Not for beginners or those with limited experience.

Great

Great book, great service.happy with my shopping.

This is a great readable overview of tips and tricks to be a better sailboat racer. More a collection of tips and tricks than a bunch of racing stories (like a lot of the competition), occasionally technical but nowhere near as encyclopedic, deep, and forbidding as Bethwaite. Highly recommended to all racers.

one of the best books on racing boats
