Synopsis

Wind Strategy is written especially for the racing sailor and shows how to predict the wind over the area of the racecourse, during the race, using simple 'rules of thumb' which apply anywhere in the world. It has been the bible since its introduction in 1984, and has been revised in the light of the author's experience at several Olympic Games, and in the northern and southern hemispheres. Learn how to predict the sea breeze, how the wind bends as it crosses the coastline and where the strongest winds will be on a racecourse. Plus, how the wind behaves on inland lakes and rivers

About this title

Wind Strategy (3rd Edition) NEW!

David Houghton & Fiona Campbell

New colour edition!!

From the Author:

Writing the 3rd edition of Wind Strategy with David Houghton was a pleasure, as I myself grew up reading it. We have spent a lot of time applying colour to the diagrams to bring the wind & weather to life, and to assist in understanding the seemingly complicated processes.

Emphasis has been placed on applying theory to practice; how you can, as a racer or cruising sailor use the wind to your advantage any where in the world. Around 25 worked examples help to deomnstrate how to do this.
