Default Seeking best book for Sail trim

Thanks for the replies. I actually managed to order off of Amazon for 8
dollars, but my wife still wants a book. Several e-mails to me
suggested Sail Power by Wallace Ross, but that appears to out of print
with no recent updates.
Any other good picks?



Large amount of info about basic aerodynamics, sail trim,
tuning, and sail construction. Very readable, too
http://www.amazon.com/Art-Science-Sa...e=UTF8&s=books

The Stuart Walker book is also very good... covers an
incredible amount of info & different techniques... but not
as readable and IMHO is going to be confusing to try &
assimilate into practice.
