Mastering Data to Win: Understand Your Instruments to Make the Right Calls & Win Races

“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)“Electronics systems on board have become more advanced and more affordable, and learning how to use them and interpret the numbers is key to every modern keelboat sailor who wants to compete.” (SailWeb)“It reads really well, and really highlights how being a navigator is part science, part ‘art’. It’s a high quality product.” (SailingPerformance)“An eye-opening book for those of us who have not experienced the complex systems of a modern racing yacht – and a useful one for those who have.” (Yachting Monthly) “Turns on-board racing information into results with an expert guide on how to turn the theory into practice. Simply by mastering your instruments you can make the right calls every time and know for certain when to tack, which shift to look out for and how the tide can work with or against you.” (Sailing Magazine) “Mark Chisnell has been a beacon of clarity in his B&G blog coverage of the Volvo Ocean Race, and his racing tactics book could offer you the same insight to improve your racing performance.” (Yachts & Yachting) With so much data on board a modern racing yacht, few are able to get the most out of it. This book explains the process: from understanding the concepts, ensuring accuracy, using the data to win races and then post-race analysis to find performance gains. With colour diagrams throughout, this instructional guide turns information into excellence.
