Racing a mirror in a nutshell, March 31, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mirror Racing (Paperback)
The book "Mirror Racing" by Guy Wilkins is an essential resource for any of the 70 000 mirror owners out there who are serious about racing at club, national or international level. The book deals in detail with essential elements such as starts, finishes and most places in between, and also cover issues vital in boat setup and maintenance. This is one of the most comprehensive manual on Mirror racing I have read, and there are no similar books that compare with the detail and quality of the information. Other books such as Sailing the Mirror by Roy Partridge do not delve as deep into the intricacies of sailing and racing, and accordingly are not as valuable resource as this book. While it deals with complex issues the book can also be used by beginners/intermediates looking to catch up to the rest of the fleet. Overall a thoroughly worthwhile read that will benefit any mirror sailor, be them 8, 80 or any age in between.
