Year: 1975 Language: english Author: Wallace Ross Genre: Guide Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf Edition: First ISBN: 978-0229225453 Format: PDF & EPUB Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 534 Description: The encyclopedia guide to sailing technique and design. Absolutely everything a sailor needs to know about sails; for the beginner and the expert. This may just be the best book on the dynamics of sails. It goes into great detail where most general and even special sailing books only scratch on the surface. However stays short, clear and precise for easy reading and understanding. It includes everything from the many basic sail layouts to precise trimming and the resulting shapes of the sail and its resulting effectiveness. Together with the physics of different deck and rigging set-ups and structural loads on the gear it gives a good reference for anyone beginning to sail and those who need more information. It rounds off with good examples of what the different crew members have to handle at various stages of sail racing (and this for the various boat-size classes), how to sail with the best performance and how to create polar plots for your own vessel. The 1975 edition comes in a nice red hard cover and features plenty clear illustrations and supplementing black and white photographs. If you are planning on building a sailboat or even want the optimum sail from a sailmaker, this book is it. Every sailor needs this book to properly understand how his vessel works!
