I have no idea what is available in your part of the world. I would
just go to a good sailing supply store/chandlery and browse the books.
I also highly recommend subscription to Sailing World and Seahorse (the
best) magazines for keeping up to date with the evolution of our sport.

One of my favorite books is "High Performance Sailing" by Frank
Bethwhite from Australia, but this is heavy reading that covers nearly
every aspect of designing and sailing of racing boats. On how to take
advantage of VPP I have high regard for the course manual: "Ockam U" by
Ockam Instruments (try their web site) and the two North sailing courses
usually run by their lofts.

On the IMS rating rule the USYRU and probably the IYRU have publications
that you can mail order. Beyond that you have to get into highly
tecnical literature and computer programs that I usually leave to
professionals. Of these probably one of your local sail loft is a good
start.

All depends on what aspects of VPP, sailing and racing you are
interested in and how deep you want to go.
