Sir Ben Ainslie won his first two Olympic medals (silver, then gold) in the Laser Class. After winning the gold medal he wrote down the secrets that won him that medal in this book. This new edition is published to mark the 20th anniversary of that first of his four Olympic gold medals. It features a brand-new introduction by Ben reflecting on his victory 20 years ago. It is the only how-to book that the world's most successful Olympic sailor has written and so, while he and the Laser class have moved on, this is the only place where you can gain access to Ben's skills and thought process. It is an invaluable guide on how to perform at the top of the Laser class or, indeed, any single-handed sailing dinghy. From psychology, goal setting and getting the boat right to speed, fitness and training - this book illustrates how to win a championship. Brimming with photographs, it is a colourful, detailed account of how to dominate in your fleet. AUTHOR: Sir Ben Ainslie is the world's most successful Olympic sailor with four gold and one silver medal to his name. His first two medals were in the Laser class. After winning gold in Sydney he wrote this book which remains his only how-to book. After that he won 3 more gold medals in the Finn class. He has been World Sailor of the Year four times. He was knighted in 2012 and was the winning tactician in the 2013 America's Cup. 186 colour photos

Industry Reviews

(Rod Carr, formerly Olympic Team Manager & Coach) "The man's a genius - say no more, buy the book." (UK Laser Association) "That Ainslie is one of the best sailors the UK has produced cannot be doubted. Here he puts down clearly how he does it, covering just about everything, even down to toestrap tensions and the ins-and-outs of hiking technique." (Boating Business)
