Delius Klasing Book Sail Trim, Yacht Optimization, Practice-Oriented New Edition Standard Work

More and more cruising sailors want to move not only quickly but also safely on their yacht or open boat: They adjust their sails optimally depending on wind strength, direction, and sea state, thus getting the best performance from their boat and still reliably reaching their destination: Their boat is well trimmed. In the clear book "Sail Trim" from Delius Klasing, eleven chapters demonstrate the basics, tips, and tricks of the trade on how to adapt the mast and sail to different wind and weather conditions. Basic principles of aerodynamics are presented in an easy-to-understand manner, and the physical interaction of sails is explained. This new edition has been completely revised: fewer physical tables, more practical advice. More informative photos and a more relaxed language and visual approach make this title a standard reference once again.
