The Complete Book of Laser Sailing

Lots of useful infoExcellent value.

Very informative!

As a new Laser sailor, I found this book especially helpful. The Laser is a relatively easy boat to sail, but hard to sail really well and this book covers all points of sailing and conditions as well as boat set up and adjustments. The interviews with gun sailors provides great practical advice. I can see myself referring to it regularly.

This is a great over all book about the boat and how to use it properly. The diagrams and information are written so that the average person can easily understand what the author is saying.

Great book and fast shipping :)

Great book to give a lot of detail and enthusiasm regarding laser sailing. Saves a lot of trial and error. Interviews with champion laser sailers are great.

After sailing other dinghies for a couple of years, I started sailing Lasers this summer, and picked this book to improve my technique. The book's guidance definitely improved my abilities and helped me to tame this fantastic boat, which I sail almost exclusively now. While acknowledging the benefits of the book, the authors should address the uneven quality of the diagrams and their relation to the text. In fact, after four editions it is high time for a redesign of the graphics.For example, a basic skill for tacking and jibing is a "behind-the-back" maneuver that would best be explained with a series of pictures. There are several examples of this throughout the book, and when there is a relevant diagram or picture, the quality varies.While I hope the authors address this criticism, there is nevertheless a wealth of information and advice that can be gleaned, espcially if one has a reasonably vivid imagination. I rate this book a worthwhile buy, especially because of the dearth of books on the Laser.

Excellent book, it covers all the aspects of the laser sailing, with a clear and in deep terms. One of the best parts are the interviews, that brings to me a wider vision through a lot points of view from many laser sailors.

I am new to the Laser sailboat. This book quickly got me up to speed on rigging the boat and sailing away.
