 Clear and Concise... Oct 31, 2000
By Mayday of Matlacha
"Also Cedar Key & Fernandina"
Ivar is right about this being the best illustrated manual. The concise, easy to understand text followed by beautifully understandably illustrations, have taken sail and rig tuning for me out of the black arts. Amazing how he fits all of this into an 80 page paperback....which makes it easier to fit into your seabag.

Great Explainations and Illustrations Sep 03, 2002
By JF
"sailing enthusiast"
This is my favorite book on sail trim. It not only explains what to do, but why to do it. It is organized well and has great illustations. It is not just for novices, but has information that more experienced sailors will find useful. For example, it has pages with illustrations showing the comparative (in percentages) sail drafts to use for various winds strengths and conditions.

Clear & Concise May 27, 2002
By Clear Air
The excellent ilustrations in this book make it stand apart. Easy to understand, a great reference to refer back to. Also includes problems with lists of solutions. For example, too much weather helm has solutions like 1) tighten outhaul 2) reduce mast rake etc.

Good book for rig tuning Dec 25, 2001
Book is divided between sail trim and rig tuning. While there are a lot of sail trim books available, the section on tuning the rig is excellent.
