What Book?
« on: May 21, 2014, 12:55:54 PM »
As of winning the D+T prize this year at school I have been given 12 pounds to spend on a book. Any good Suggestions ?

"High Performance Sailing" by Frank Bethwaite is a pretty standard text these days. I used to enjoy reading "Boat Tuning for Speed" by Imhoff & Pranger. It was published in the 1980's so a bit out of date now but probably the same principles still apply.
