About this product

Product Information

A beautifully, uniquely illustrated nautical guide to how to trim your sails and rig for maximum performance. With a revolutionary approach, this guide tackles the practical and realistic elements of tuning your boat, plus the theory of sail aerodynamics. Due to the design of the book, we have had to restrict the layout of the ebook to PDF style which may result in giving you a more restricted reading experience. For this reason, we would not recommend viewing it on very small screens.

Consice and to the point.
The book was recommended o me for the chapter on Rig Tuning, in particular the fractional rig and cap shroud tension which is covered well along with a lot of other aspects of getting the best out of your rig and sails

A small book packed with info.
This book gives a good introduction to how sails work and how they can be trimmed on a boat to maximum effect. Short and thought provoking.

Best book on trimming I've read
Well explained, excellent diagrams. Pretty sure this book was responsible for shaving a couple of hours off our last race to France. Thank you Mr Dedekam, we won our class!
