Elevate your performance on the water with Sailing to Win by legendary yachtsman Robert N. Bavier, Jr. First published in 1947 and continuously revised for decades, this book became one of the most influential and enduring texts on yacht racing tactics and rules of the post-war era.

Bavier was a recognized master of racing strategy, a former editor and publisher of Yachting magazine, and, most famously, the helmsman who successfully skippered the 12-Meter Constellation to victory in the 1964 America's Cup. His expertise is distilled into this systematic guide, providing the winning mindset and tactical knowledge required to move from amateur to contender.

What You Will Learn from a Master Tactician:

  • The New Racing Rules: Comprehensive interpretation and application of the International Yacht Racing Union (IYRU) rules (which governed the sport), critical for maintaining a competitive and clean edge.
  • Winning Tactics: Detailed instruction on strategy for every leg of the race, including techniques for starting, beating (upwind), reaching, and running (downwind).
  • Crew Training and Management: Expert advice on optimizing crew performance and assigning roles for maximum boat speed and efficiency.
  • Weather and Wind Shifts: Bavier's uncanny ability to "sniff out wind shifts" is shared, giving readers practical tips on using meteorological conditions to their advantage.

This book is essential reading for all yacht racers, sailing enthusiasts, and America's Cup historians seeking the proven strategies that define championship sailing.
