Review
In my view Dinghy Techniques will help an enormous number of dinghy sailors to improve their boat handling. Breaking each manoeuvre down into stages, each one illustrated perfectly with photos and explained clearly makes the book easy to use - an invaluable tool for anyone wishing to up their game… Martin Wadhams, Managing Director of RS Sailing, June 2011
