The Car Cinema
What better way to get pumped up for a weekend of sailing than watching the College Sailing Nationals? As the NC State Sailing Team heads down to compete in the SAISA Fall Conference Championship, everyone watches the races on one of their laptops. An eleven hour drive to St. Petersburg wouldn't be complete without some sailing entertainment!

Club Sailor: from back to front
In the UK at least, there are only sailing books for newbies and Olympic wannabes.
But nothing for those stalwarts that only want to race at their clubs every week, perhaps with an occasional regatta for variety.
So I wrote the book to fill the gap.
As well as the normal start-beat-reach-run stuff (albeit with a refreshing slant) is the explanation why you always drop it in on the last gybe when doing better than usual. And sections on why luck is not just random chance.

Thanks to college sailing our family can share our proud moments with us on and off the water.
