Synopsis "The Asymmetric Dinghy Book: Asymmetric Sailing From Start to Finish"
Asymmetric dinghies burst into the sailing scene in the 1990s and have transformed the sport. They led to the introduction of new types of courses and a new sailing style. While the basic principles may be the same as for conventional dinghies, the increased focus on apparent wind sailing and responding to changes in wind pressure and direction downwind are exciting new elements that asymmetric dinghies bring.This book allows you to learn the secrets of getting the most from your asymmetric dinghy – whether you sail an entry level dinghy or a high-performance skiff, single-handed or with a crew. Following its advice will enable you to enjoy being at one with your boat and the wind.It is written by asymmetric champion sailor and journalist Andy Rice who has also gleaned tips, advice and some great shortcuts from expert sailors in a wide range of classes. This will give you the inside knowledge to improve your techniques and get ahead of the fleet.There’s step-by-step guidance, accompanied by great photo sequences. Every stage of asymmetric sailing is covered, including rigging and tuning, hoists, gybes and drops, tactics, survival sailing and advanced skills for solo and crewed boats.Table of ContentsAndy RiceThe ExpertsContentsForewordIntroductionPART ONE: GETTING STARTED: The Basics, Standard Moves, Advanced MovesPART TWO: STRONG WINDS: Survival Sailing, Avoiding Disaster, CapsizingPART THREE: MASTERCLASSES: BoatspeedRacing: Strategy & TacticsThe Racing RulesThe Final Five PercentAcknowledgements.
