Reviews"Mastering data will improve your team's performance, particularly your starts, and lies at the heart of your strategy and tactics. As a racing professional and tactician I have become increasingly dependent on that data and those who help to manage it... This book is fundamental reading not only for any aspiring navigator but I would suggest for all members of the crew... Good navigators need to be very well prepared, well organised and good under pressure - I would suggest that reading this book is a pretty good place to start that preparation!" (Ian Walker, double silver medallist & Volvo Ocean Race winner)
