Synopsis

This book reveals the winning ways of a major sailing champion, Greg Fisher.

Greg's overall message: boat speed is paramount. Boat speed comes from getting the boat in balance. Tactically he favors the conservative approach; do what most often succeeds.

This book is about Greg Fisher and how 'regular guys' can move up in the fleet. The book represents the experience of Coach-TCA, the intermediate level racing course offered during Thistle Midwinters in St. Petersburg by Greg Fisher and Tom Hubbell supported by a cast of leading competitor-coaches. Greg has won major regattas in many classes including Flying Scot, Thistle, Lightning, J/22, Snipe, Highlander, MC Scow, and Y-Flyer.
