Synopsis

Books for beginners. Books, by champions for wannabe champions. But until now, nothing focused on the needs of the majority, the dedicated, die-hard, or even casual round the cans club racer. Club Sailor: from back to front fills that void. Written by a successful club sailor, specifically for club sailors, this is a refreshing and light-hearted insight into some of the techniques and approaches to both improving performance and gaining more enjoyment from your racing. As well as guiding you around the course, Clive covers neglected but crucial topics such as relentlessness and how to make yourself lucky. There are also sections dedicated to teenagers, to crews and for those relative new to racing.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

The first time Clive went sailing was when he was still in a carrycot - but his parents misjudged the tide and he drifted back home. Strangely, this gave him the bug and he has been an avid dinghy racer ever since. Having sailed virtually all his life, at championship and club level, he found himself coaching at his club, Frensham Pond - and from that start came the inspiration to write CLUB SAILOR: from back to front. The rationale was that, whilst there are lots of books aimed at beginners and many others written by Champions for those aspiring to reach the very top, there is nothing aimed at the stalwart majority, those who sail regularly at their club without every really getting better. His writing style is conversational and light-hearted - sailing is supposed to be fun after all, so he thinks his guides should be too. And being written by a club sailor, for club sailors it neither assumes too much nor too little. In his spare time, Clive is a Chartered Accountant and advisor to growing businesses, which he claims, just like sailing, is all about adapting well to change.
