North Sails used to publish some very good materials in conjunction with something they called "The Fast Course". They also had an excellent video called "The Shape of Speed". I probably learned more about sail trim and rig tuning fron those two sources that anywhere else. The video was particularly excellent because they would focus the camera on the draft stripes of the sails while they made adjustments so you could see the change in real time and learn to appreciate the elements of a fast shape and what it looked like. Good stuff if you can find some copies or the up to date equivalent. |

That DVD looks good but I like the $14.99 price here better.

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? Robert & Suzanne 35s5 NY |

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.
