A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Kim Furniss and Sarah Powell are a formidable team: they have won World, European and National titles and are dynamite in any class of catamaran. Trained as a boatbuilder, Kim Furniss still builds and repairs boats. His success in catamarans mean he is in great demand for boat development and race coaching. Like many successful crews, Sarah Powell is a helmsman in her own right,. In this book she shows that crewing is a vital skill - at least as important as helming.
