Reviews
"In this brilliant book Sas shares her experience of what it takes to be the best crew and make a great team. Any crew, or indeed helm of a two-person boat, would benefit from reading it. Individual skills are covered - like hiking and trapezing, tacking and gybing, hoisting and lowering the spinnaker - and so are the team skills: dividing the roles in the boat both outside competition, pre-start and on each leg of the course. Sas is not prescriptive - she explains how we broke down the roles but is also aware that each team should work to their own strengths and weaknesses and find the best fit. Reading this book will improve your skills as a crew and make you a better team, whether you are just sailing at your local sailing club or competing internationally at the top of your fleet - I whole-heartedly recommend it." (Hannah Mills)
