4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough but somewhat technical, not for the beginner, 22 Jul 1998

By A Customer

Anyone who has read Mr. Walker's work understands that he takes a very technical and analyitcal look at the sport of yacht racing. It is definatly an effort to get through the book, and I feel that the beginner will not get much out of it. Overall, he is very thorough and on target. There is much to be learned from the book, and it will make a person a better racer.

One humorous aspect of the book (and all of Mr. Walker's writing, for that matter) is that most of his examples consists of times that he has screwed up and lost the race. The reader occasionally wonders whether he should be taking his advice.... ;) However, the examples are often excellent illustrations of the point he is trying to make.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speedy le Racer, 11 Feb 2008

By	Speedy Le Racer - See all my reviews

This book transformed the way I look at racing tactics - a truly enlightening read. I think beginners will struggle to get anything out of it, but a competent racer who takes the time to study it carefully will find it gives them a monumental boost!
