ber259 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I have recently purchased a Nacra 5.2 after many years absent from sailing cats. I have a 16 year old who is new to the sport and I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction as to a selection of good publications and where they can be purchased that will cover racing / tuning etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti2300 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 There's only one. "Catamaran Racing for the 90's" by Rick White and Mary Wells. Get it through Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverNickname Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Another good book is "Catamaran Racing" by Furniss & Powell. Book Description: If winning cat races is your goal - look no further. You will find the winning formula here. Catamaran Racing shows you how to improve from club level to world championship standard. You will learn how to set realistic goals, how to make your boat the fastest on the water, and how to outsail and outmanoeuvre the opposition. And every point is fully illustrated with photo sequences of the authors in action - so you can see how it's done. Part 1 gives speed techniques - for all conditions and all points of sailing. Part 2 explains race tactics - how to outwit the opposition on the racecourse. Part 3 shows how to give your boat blinding speed. Part 4 demonstrates how to tune the rig, and tweak it for peak performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
