Sailing Editorial Review
In an editorial review of "Positioning: The Logic of Sailboat Racing," customers have expressed a generally favorable experience with the book, highlighting its utility for both novice and experienced sailors. The book synthesizes essential preparation strategies that are crucial before a race, making it a valuable resource for those looking to improve their sailing tactics. Reviewers appreciated the insights into race positioning, noting that it offered perspectives not covered in the companion book, "Tactics of Small Boat Racing" (TSBR), effectively enhancing their understanding of racing dynamics. However, some customers pointed out areas for improvement, citing repetitive phrasing that could detract from the reading experience. The clarity of the diagrams in "Positioning" was also criticized when compared to those in TSBR, suggesting that while the content is beneficial, the presentation could be enhanced for better comprehension. Despite these drawbacks, many reviewers found the book to be rich in explanations regarding the strategies of successful racers, making it a helpful guide for self-training. Overall, "Positioning: The Logic of Sailboat Racing" is well-received, acknowledged for its depth of information and practical advice, though with a call for clearer visuals and a more concise writing style. **
