Introduction to Speed & Smarts

Most racing sailors I know are hungry for useful, hand-on information that will help them win more races. That's why I started Speed & Smarts. It uses practical, hands-on teaching methods that make learning easy and help you transfer your new knowledge to the race course. As you can see from the sample issue on this website (under Past Issues), each newsletter is full of diagrams, photos, graphs, charts, lists and tips.

Whether you race a one-design or big boat, at the top or bottom of your fleet, you'll find lots of valuable ideas in Speed & Smarts. In fact, when you consider the cost of other go-fast items you can buy,  this newsletter gives you extremely good "bang for your buck."

We have subscribers in all 50 states and 25 countries. Many have signed up for more than one year and have bought copies of all the back issues. Every issue is 3 hole punched for easy storage in a 3 ring binder. In addition, we occasionally publish an index of past articles for quick reference.

Because I'm so convinced that Speed & Smarts will make you a more accomplished and confident racer, I include a money-back guarantee with every subscription. If you're not completely satisfied with this newsletter, just let me know and I'll give you a full refund.

So this year, invest a few dollars in the most important performance variable of all – yourself! Simply fill out and submit the secure order form  – We'll get your first issue in the mail soon!
