Reviews
For anyone in the process of ordering a new genoa jib, this book is both timely and informative. Whidden, president of North Sails, has provided a readable volume which starts with sail material and concludes with the care thereof. In between, there is much valuable information regarding such matters as design and development, sail and rigging trim, and choice of inventory for various sailing interests. While the book is aimed at the specialist, the style is clear enough for most sailors. Highly recommended for all libraries with a literate sailing clientele. Dolphin Book Club Selection; first serial, Sailing . -- Robert E. Greenfield, formerly with Baltimore Cty. P.L.
