Mike Golding is a winner. In this book he explains how skippers can raise their game and get to the front of the fleet.
There is more to winning than sailing fast. Before you even leave the dock the boat has to be prepared meticulously, the crew must be a commited and effective team and your race startegy and navigation need to be well thought out: there's no point in going fast in the wrong direction!

Racing Skipper outlines the techniques that Golding has used in leading successful campaigns. It sets out some basic guidelines for preparing a yacht and shaping a team in the pursuit of outstanding performance and success.
