Sailboat racing is much like a chess game. You can use the rules to your advantage, and it is a fine art

There seem to be several right-priced copies for sale on Amazon.com of an excellant book - one that was printed only in 1992 and has not been "widely" available at a reasonable price for several years: "Positioning" written by Stuart Walker. I don't know why this has happened all of a sudden, but I will take advantage of it.
I had bad luck with Amazon the last time I thought I had bought this book about 5 or 6 years ago - already sold - so I am hoping this time I will get it.
It amazes me that Norton has no interest in reprinting the book.

My copy of this book just arrived. I've only read the first few pages but the style is a bit cumbersome. Lots of terms that the author make no attempt to define or point the reader to a reference. He's making some very good points but I'll need to settle into his writing style.
Anyone else like this book? I'll try to provide a more complete review after I've read the rest.
