RYA Tactics. Яхтенная тактика

Издание на английском языке
Sailing is one of the most complicated and challenging sports out there. There are so many attributes a good sailor needs to be successful at any level. One of the critical aspects to get your head around is the uncontrollables that are thrown at us consistently while we are racing -the changing weather and the other boats!
I have worked and sailed with Mark for almost 15 years, and his unwavering enthusiasm and passion towards learning and understanding sailing to a greater and greater degree is inspiring. It is certainly from Mark that I have developed the attitude that there is always something to learn in our incredible sport. No one race is the same, no one weather condition requires the exact same setup or technique, and nor is the same mindset and approach right for every race.
