  • Before the start
  • The race

“If you take your racing seriously you cannot be without this book.”  Georgie Corlett-Pitt, Editor, Yachts & Yachting Magazine

“This book has come about from years of sailing and coaching at the highest level by an extremely analytical person.  Mark, a qualified Physics teacher, is one of those annoying people who learnt from every sailing / coaching experience and has built and extensive memory bank of tactical scenarios and understanding.We are all lucky enough to gain from this experience and knowledge, and via Ryan (the book’s alto ego coach) we are guided through, in a unique style, that will improve our sailing.”  Chips Howarth, five times Fireball World Champion

“This book gives incredible insight into the complex world of sailing tactics and strategy. Mark, in a way only Mark can, breaks everything down in a clear and simple way, which I can guarantee will give anyone who reads it the tools they need to raise their tactical and strategical game to the level they are aspiring towards.” Hannah Mills, Olympic and World Champion, 470 class
