Start to Win is Eric Twiname's sailing classic. Out of print for over 20 years, it has nevertheless retained its position as the book on simple racing principles. Considered unequalled by its many fans, it is the only book that sets out the techniques of sailing in such a clear, understandable and straightforward manner. By the same author as The Rules Book, Start to Win will be welcomed back by its many followers, and read for the first time by many more. With an updated section on the Racing Rules, this classic is set to help sailors achieve their racing best for many years to come. 'An extraordinarily valuable book...Twiname manages to remove the mystique from the art of winning' Yachting World 'One of the best books on tactics' Yachting & Boating 'A first class book for the racing dinghy helmsman' Yachts and Yachting

Paperback. Condition: Good. Anyone who learns to sail in the right way can win races, and in this sailing classic, Eric Twiname shows in detail why some helmspersons consistently win while others consistently finish in the middle or at the back of fleets. He explains how helmspersons and crew are the main race-winning variables - not their boats - and shows how winning is primarily the result of a conscious mental process, with a series of clearly defined decisions correctly made.Paperback in good clean condition.viii, 231 pages, including index.
