Start to Win is Eric Twiname's sailing classic. Out of print for over 20 years, it has nevertheless retained its position as the
book on simple racing principles. Considered unequalled by its many
fans, it is the only book that sets out the techniques of sailing in
such a clear, understandable and straightforward manner.

will be welcomed back by its many followers, and read for the first
time by many more. With an updated section on the Racing Rules, this
classic is set to help sailors achieve their racing best for many years
to come.
