''Monumental!'' - Bob Ross, Australian Sailing

High Performance Sailing is
now regarded as the bible of racing sailors and carries a string of
endorsements from high achievers. Since its publication in 1984, racing
yachts and dinghies have developed out of all recognition - a new
high-tech breed of ''apparent wind'' fast racers has claimed the water
and so far no-one has applied themselves seriously to analysing what
makes these boats sail fast (and what will make them faster). This is Frank Bethwaite''s ground-breaking achievement in Higher Performance Sailing.
By means of extensive research, and working with sailors of different
racing calibre, Bethwaite analyses how to harness the apparent wind
for increased speed and better position on your rivals. Higher Performance Sailing will
provide the key to racing sailors'' dreams.

Praise for Bethwaite''s High Performance Sailing:

''It represents a breakthrough...It is a book that my Olympic squad will benefit from.''

Rod Carr, former British Olympic Sailing Team Manager

''Allowed only one "if only" in yacht racing, it would have been to have read Higher Performance Sailing years ago.''

Bob Fisher, journalist, broadcaster and international championship winner

Industry Reviews

'...a book that I read from cover to cover...should be on the bookshelves of anyone who sails these boats competitively, not only at grassroots level but also at national and international, even Olympic, levels. It really is that good.' Amateur Yacht Research Society (October 2009)
