Nick Craig’s ground-breaking Helming to Win was published 10 years ago to great reviews: “Many sailing books can be recycles of familiar themes and ideas. Not this one! This is a highly personal and radical, fresh view of the subject area.”
In the following decade, Nick Craig has won 10 World, 3 European and 20 National Championships! That’s winning more championships than most of us have attended over this period.
As an amateur sailor, with a senior full-time job, Nick knows how to make the most of his time on the water. Every race is recorded in his notes, every race builds on his knowledge.
This new edition of Helming to Win utilises what he has learnt from those 33 championship wins (and many other less successful events), with new learning, new anecdotes and additional captions on the photo sequences to ensure the key learnings are easy to take on.
This updated breakthrough book will help you make the transition from weekend racer to national champion, just as Nick has done. Covering everything from where to look and getting ‘in the groove’ to mental approaches and championship sailing, you will be working your way up the leaderboard in no time. Packed full of intelligent insight, brilliant top tips and engaging photo sequences, if your goal is to win then this is the book for you!
Nick Craig is the ‘Champion of Champions’ having won the Endeavour Trophy 7 times – more than any other helm. He has also won 19 World, 6 European and 48 National Championships in a variety of classes including the Finn, D-One, Merlin Rocket and RS400. Remarkably he is not a professional sailor – all of this has been achieved alongside a full-time job.
