With this new, fresh, and highly readable introduction to sail trim,
Dallas Murphy’s PLAIN SAILING goes far to demystify the often
intimidating aspects of sailing that confront the unseasoned sailor.
By focusing on “wind awareness,” Plain Sailing will help all
sailors better understand the principles and practice of sail
trim—how to adjust sails so they interact most efficiently with the
wind. There is a direct relationship between sailing efficiency and
sailing fun. Knowing when, how, and why to trim your sails is the
essence of sailing. If you understand trim, you understand
sailing. Plain Sailing also covers how to look at
sails, how to distinguish good trim from bad, how to diagnose a
blown-out sail, and much more. This book is essential reading for
all beginning sailors, as well as for more experienced cruising
sailors who want to get the most out of their boats.
