Reviews

"Ben Ainslie is the most accomplished Laser sailor I have ever worked with. His determination, fitness and sheer natural talent are quite extraordinary." (Rod Carr, formerly Olympic Team Manager & Coach)
“The man’s a genius – say no more, buy the book.” (UK Laser Association)
“That Ainslie is one of the best sailors the UK has produced cannot be doubted. Here he puts down clearly how he does it, covering just about everything, even down to toestrap tensions and the ins-and-outs of hiking technique.” (Boating Business)
