After I asked for good books on sail trim...and it seems few
exist....Several folks suggested The Shape of Speed from North Sails
and Bennett Marine. I ordered it from Amazon, but the DVD was not
available in spite of saying "DVD edition."
So the tape came and I watched it...truly excellent and comprehensive
info on sail trim. Sure, it's stuff you've read before and heard
before, but it's still great to see it all explained so nicely and
demonstrated on boats underway. Some aspects of the tape are a bit
dated, but it's still quite usefull.
For 8 bucks on Amazon....well worth it. I'm still trying to find the
"best" text on trim that is good for my wife and also for more advanced
sailors. I'll probably order a couple of books and see what's what.
