Customer Reviews

Highly recommended for ambitious racers
Jon's book covers the full range of ingredients that are required to compete at the highest level, and explains each element in a very focused, practical and accessible manner. By encouraging sailors to analyse their own performance to a detailed level, this book will enable both "weekend warriors" and aspiring professionals to progress towards their goals. The chapters on mental attitude and concentration are particularly recommended.
