Physics of Sailing Explained

Why is your boat a dog going to windward ? Why does she broach unpredictably on a run ? Should you have a wing keel? Does a balanced rudder make a difference ? Here is a book that introduces in a wonderfully simple and accessible way the science of sailing - the aerodynamics and rigs and sails, the hydro-dynamics of hulls, keels and rudders. The relationships of all the effects and forces are explained, and many examples and illustrations introduced. This book is really a Marchaj for normal people - - and a great deal cheaper ! Pb. 200pp.
