Sommario/riassunto |
|
Since the publication of the author's 'High Performance Sailing' in 1984 a new breed of 'apparent wind' fast racers has claimed the water. 'Higher Performance Sailing' analyses what makes these boats sail fast (and what will make them faster) and how to harness the apparent wind for increased speed and better position on your rivals. |
