Synopsis
Anyone who sails a racing yacht -- no matter whether it is a Fireball or an ocean racer or something in between -- wants the boat to perform at its best. You may have a good boat, with the best of sails and equipment, but unless you understand your rig and can tune it to a fine pitch of response to wind and weather and boat-handling you won't get the best out of it. This book tells you how to tune your boat to go faster, and it contains a wealth of information on what you need to know for high-performance sailing. More than a hundred photographs and diagrams illustrate every point.
