Catamaran Racing By Kim Furniss
If winning cat races is your goal ? look no further. You will find the winning formula here. Catamaran Racing shows you how to improve from club level to world championship standard. You will learn how to set realistic goals, how to make your boat the fastest on the water, and how to outsail and outmanoeuvre the opposition. And every point is fully illustrated with photo sequences of the authors in action ? so you can see how it?s done.
Part 1 ? gives speed techniques ? for all conditions and all points of sailing
Part 2 ? explains race tactics ? how to outwit the opposition on the racecourse
Part 3 ? shows how to give your oat blinding speed
Part 4 ? demonstrates how to tune the rig, and tweak it for peak performance. Kim Furniss and Sarah Powell are a formidable team: they have won World, European and National titles and are dynamite in any class of catamaran. Trained as a boatbuilder, Kim Furniss still builds and repairs boats. His success in catamarans means he is in great demand for boat development and race coaching. Like many successful crews, Sarah Powell is a helmsman in her own right. In this book she shows that crewing is a vital skill ? at least as important as helming.
