About this title

Review:

"Bryan Willis' approach is situation-based and practical, rather than rules-based and technical... Under the diagrams that clearly set out each on-the-water situation, he carefully takes the reader through what each boat can and can't do, as well as how their rights and obligations change at each stage... The text is peppered with useful tactical insights and tips" (Sailing) "An excellent book: ideal for all sailors who race, or are thinking of racing." (Little Ship Club)
