Series: Sail to Win

The breakthrough book on dinghy helming updated from Nick's 33 championship wins since it was first published.

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, new photographs 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.
