Book Synopsis Think Fast - Sail Faster by : Gavin Dagley
Download or read book Think Fast - Sail Faster written by Gavin Dagley and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think Fast, Sail Faster started out as a series of articles published in the U.S.-based Sailing World magazine called "Conversations with the Doc." This book expands those original ideas into a comprehensive rethink about how we understand sailboat racing, and how the way we think affects racing performance. The book represents a fundamental reconstruction of many of the core concepts of sailboat racing. Here are some of the innovations: "Feel" is a central theme. "Feel" often receives relatively little attention in sailing texts, but is one of the most important factors in sailing performance. How we think about sailing conditions has been re-designed. The new classifications of wind conditions (fragile, powering up, depowering, too-much) require the sailor to focus on the boat itself rather than focusing outside the boat and trying to guess whether the conditions might be "light," "medium" or "strong."Wind strategy has been substantially overhauled. The usual classification system for wind shift patterns has been extended into four new groupings. These ideas, combined with explanations of "wind sense," enable sailors to make direct connections between what they see and the best strategies for winning races.Other novel topics include: three-phase oscillating breezes; the "no-brainer" race; the eight standard port/starboard crossing strategies; how to not use a compass; explanation of offshore breeze patterns; the complexities and misinformation about sailing in current; a complete sail racing performance model; psychological performance issues; how risk management and wind strategy combine; and how to build your own wind forecasting system.Finally, these ideas are presented as conversations between the Doc and his fictional friends, rather than as lists of instructions. Throughout the text there are margin notes, and at the end of each chapter there is a simple summary of the main ideas.

Book Synopsis The Boys in the Boat (Movie Tie-In) by : Daniel James Brown
Download or read book The Boys in the Boat (Movie Tie-In) written by Daniel James Brown and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiration for the Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney—exclusively in theaters December 25, 2023! The #1 New York Times bestselling true story about the American rowing triumph of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—from the author of Facing the Mountain For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.
