The new asymmetric boats and the new short courses demand new skills, techniques and strategies to win. Nobody has adapted better than John Merricks and Ian Walker. In this book they pass on the knowledge and secrets that have helped them achieve such outstanding results in the traditional classes (such as the 470) and the new flying machines. Their clear thinking will enable you, too, to master your boat...and the competition.
