RYA Crew to Win
The first of a new series of sail racing books. Joe Glanfield, 2004 Olympic silver medalist, covers all the technical essentials needed to succeed in crewed boats.
This book explodes the myth that crew are not as important as the helm; it confirms that the team is a vital ingredient to any crewed boat. If you want to sail faster, smarter and win races, RYA Crew to Win will take you there. The book will help you choose and create a winning team, give practical advice on goal setting, event preparation, technique and much more. Remember, ‘things don’t come to those who wait’ – get training.

“We highly recommend [this book] to dinghy helms as well as crews who want to develop their skills. Crew to Win contains over 100 pages in full colour covering all aspects of dinghy crewing from choosing a boat, a helm, and personal kit, to specific championship techniques for both traditional and high quality dinghies.
“As well as the expected boat handling techniques, there are sections on profiling and goal setting – techniques we can all use to identify which areas of our sailing we should be concentrating on – and regatta preparation and tactics.
“There is also an underlying insight into the way in which our professional dinghy sailors go about their training and their mentality toward the sport – points which can help us improve, whatever our ambitions.
“Clear graphics and sharp, relevant pictures bring the messages home. The best picture is saved until last: a double spread of Joe and Nick laughing as they invert their 470 during one of the high wind photo shoot sequences!
