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.

Finn Brazilian Championship
From an International Finn Association press release:
"In the lead up to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the Finn class in Brazil is undergoing something of a resurgence. It's recent National Championship, held in Sao Paulo, attracted 25 boats, and many of them were new boats built in Brazil. The 2012 Olympian Jorge Zarf dominated the series with six race wins from seven races. Second was the double Olympic Star medalist Bruno Prada on his return to the Finn class. Andre Mirsky was third. Also on the water was photographer Ale Socci from Green Pixel Photos. As well as the expected race action photos, he took some incredible water level shots of the fleet from a variety of angles proving once again, it's not what you have that matters, it's what you do with it."
