Sail Racing Books

Racing is where sailing skills get tested under pressure. This collection covers race tactics, sail trim, boat tuning, starting techniques, rules interpretation and the mental side of competitive sailing. The racing rules for 2025-2028 are in stock in several formats, from the full RYA edition to Elvstrøm's illustrated guide and pocket-sized companions.

You will find class-specific books for popular dinghies (ILCA, Mirror, Optimist, Topper), keelboat racing guides, and titles on foiling, asymmetric sailing and multihull technique. High Performance Sailing and its sequel remain the standard references for serious racing sailors looking to find more speed.
