Sharpen your competitive edge and learn how to secure the win with Small Boat Racing by William F. Crosby.

This classic text quickly became the standard reference for dinghy and one-design class racers in the pre-and post-World War II era. Crosby systematically covers the critical skills, tactics, and interpretations of the rules needed to transform a casual sailor into a consistent race winner in competitive small boat fleets.

Key Areas for Competitive Advantage:

  • Racing Rules Mastery: Detailed and accessible explanations of the right-of-way rules and common infractions, crucial for skillful maneuvering and avoiding disqualification.
  • Starting Line Tactics: Expert strategies for achieving a perfect start, including timing, positioning, and defending a lane in a crowded fleet.
  • Upwind and Downwind Strategy: Analysis of beating (upwind) and running (downwind) techniques, focusing on how to read wind shifts, handle currents, and cover or attack competitors.
  • Equipment and Tuning: Guidance on tuning the rig, proper hull maintenance, and ensuring your boat is in peak competitive condition to gain boat speed.

This book is a timeless necessity for small boat racers, dinghy sailors, one-design fleet competitors, and sailing historians interested in the foundational strategies of competitive sailing.
