RESUMEN DEL LIBRO: LEARN FAST AND EASY STARTS. UNDERSTAND RULES AND TACTICS. RACE ESTRATEGICALLY. INTEGRATE SAIL TRIM AND BOAT - HANDLING TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE SÈED. The purpose of this book is to explain the fundamentals of racing, so that daysailors and cruisers will feel confident enough not only to crew on a racing boat, but to enter their own boat in a race. It does not cover sailing basics, because it is assumed that the reader is already familiar with his or her boat. Likewise it does not teach the nuances of higher - level strategy or sail tuning, because that will needlessly complicate the basic issues of getting around the buoys. Chapter 1 opens with a brief summary of a hypotetical race, and the subsequent chapters break down the racing experience into bite - size - pieces. There are, the rules, the start, the winward leg, mark aroundins, down wind sailing, the finish, and basic overall strategiy. Also included a chapter on how to get involved ; i.e. finding races and figuring out what kind of races is best for you.
