The Last Great Race of Princes
by Scott Cookman
From the Publisher
"Outstanding. Cookman is equally adept at depicting the gut-wrenching
tension of ocean racing, the politics, intrigues and skullduggery of billionaires,

High
Performance Sailing
by Frank Bethwaite
Book Description:
Based on 25 years of research and Olympic coaching, High Performance
Sailing reinvents the strategies of sailboat racing. It presents revolutionary
explanations of wind prediction and boat design, a fundamental rethinking
of how to sail a boat fast--literally faster than the wind. Bethwaite's
theories boosted the average speed of the highest-performance sailboats
from two-thirds the windspeed to windspeed or faster. Bethwaite is Australia's
most successful Olympic coach, and his family includes three Olympic sailing
champions and three world champions. This book will have a revolutionary
impact on racing sailboats and the way they are sailed.
