Author Biography Frank Bethwaite is revered amongst the sailing community for the depth, originality and soundness of his research and for the successful application of his theories, which produce results for his disciples around the world time and time again. His many years of experience coaching the highly successful Australian Olympic sailing team and his extensive analysis from working with racing sailors are the basis for the techniques and theories presented in this new book. Review ...a book that I read from cover to cover...should be on the bookshelves of anyone who sails these boats competitively, not only at grassroots level but also at national and international, even Olympic, levels. It really is that good. * Amateur Yacht Research Society (October 2009) * Promotional Set to be as groundbreaking as its forerunner, Higher Performance Sailinganalyses what makes the new breed of high-tech racing yachts anddinghies sail so fast, and what will make them sail even faster. Long Description High Performance Sailing is now regarded as the bible of racing sailors and carries a string of endorsements from high achievers. Since its publication in 1984, racing yachts and dinghies have developed out of all recognition - a new high-tech breed of apparent wind fast racers has claimed the water and so far no-one has applied themselves seriously to analysing what makes these boats sail fast (and what will make them faster). This is what Frank Bethwaite does in Higher Performance Sailing. Equally groundbreaking, it analyses how to harness the apparent wind for increased speed (and better position on your rivals). It will provide the key to racing sailors dreams. Review Quote Monumental!
