A former Olympic Star helmsman shows you how to tune your keelboat or sportsboat, execute manoeuvres and tame the spinnaker.

This book is perfect for dinghy sailors moving up to keelboats; yachtsmen trying their hand at something more lively; and indeed anyone trying to get to the front of the fleet. A former Olympic Star helmsman shows you how to tune your rig, execute manoeuvres and tame the spinnaker.

Glyn Charles taught himself to sail at the age of fourteen and won the British Laser Nationals five years later. He subsequently won championships in Solings, J24s and offshore yachts and competed in the Olympics. He skippered a One Tonner in the Admiral's Cup and was Britain’s representative in the Star class at the Savannah Olympics. He was tragically lost at sea during the Sydney Hobart Race in 1998.
