THE FOILING DINGHY BOOK.By Alan Hillman. Softback, 170mm x 240mm, 109 pages, 0.28 kg. Colour photographs,line drawings. Published 2018
Since the development of the International Moth into a fully foiling dinghy there has been an explosion in the popularity of the class with some of the world’s top sailors competing in it and many others enjoying the exhilaration of ‘flying’. However there is no doubt that it is a challenge to learn to fly a Moth and other designs are being introduced which are easier to sail and provide foiling opportunities for less dedicated, larger and less agile sailors.
This book, the first to be published on dinghy foiling, explains how foils work and how to foil in the International Moth, Waszp and F101. Anyone who can sail a fast planing dinghy like the Laser should be able to foil and this book takes you through the skills and techniques required.
Starting with the theory, the book goes through rigging and launching, then low-riding sailing, tacking and gybing before moving onto flying and, of course, the foiling gybe and tack. All illustrated by hundreds of colour photographs and many diagrams.

It takes you through the basics of teaching somebody to sail from their point of view and gives constant tips on how to help the student understand new ideas.

It is suitable both for those running formal courses and for parents looking to teach their children.
Teach Dinghy Sailing is illustrated with step-by-step photography and artwork and every section includes boxes with Top Tips and Watch Out information.
