Illustrated Sail & Rig Tuning

by Ivar Dedekam

In this slim volume, Dedekam captures the essentials of proper sail trim and rig tuning. Beginning with a summary of the basic aerodynamic principles that enable sailboats to sail, he builds on these principles to introduce proper sail trim and eventually rig tuning. Unlike similar books, Illustrated Sail & Rig Tuning is geared towards keelboats and will be appreciated by racers and cruisers alike.

Dedekam's advice is practical and concise. He will describe a common problem and then tell you how to solve the problem. Along the way, he provides helpful tips to make sail trim and rig tuning easier and more accurate.
