Packed full with diagrams to illustrate the text, this companion describes the most useful moves around the race course, and the key rules that govern such moves. There are then sections on how to slow and how to overtake; how to win the start and how to control the final beat; the best routines for practising; how to develop as a team, from beginner to champion; the process for umpired sailing; and team roles, and how to make sure everyone enjoys playing a full part in the team.

Modern braided ropes have transformed sailing with incredible strength from ever smaller thickness. They are a godsend to the racing sailor who is always looking for strength without additional weight.

The nature of these ropes requires different techniques to join them together or make eyes to attach to fittings and this is where this book comes in. It provides a guide to the different types of braided ropes – where to use them and how to splice them for typical uses on a racing sailboat.

It provides clear easy-to-follow photographs and is splash-proof and spiral bound, which means that it is perfect to take into the dinghy park or onboard and use where you need to do your splicing. It lays out flat, so you don’t have to hold it open as you follow the sequences with ropes in your hand!

Set of 10 Monel rivets with mandrel made of galvanized steel.

Monel blind rivets are particularly suitable for applications in steel and aluminium materials, since the small potential difference results in a good resistance to galvanic corrosion (better than stainless steel).

Monel is a nickel-copper alloy with high tensile strength, which is very resistant to atmospheric corrosion and sea water. We supply open and closed type Monel rivets. Closed rivets provide an airtight seal.
