Description
Anyone who enjoys sailing fast downwind should read this book. Even the die-hard cruising man who does not number the spinnaker among his best friends feels pangs of jealousy when he’s overhauled by a smaller boat flying a well-set spinnaker. And the most experienced of racing skippers know that, for all its fragility and dazzling colour, the big one’s awesome power can sometimes make it hard to handle. Bunty King has written a book which dispels prejudice and ignorance alike, providing a bible which encompasses the subject, from most basic principles of sail and gear to the subtlest refinement of trim and shape; it is magnificently illustrated with photographs and drawings, so even the most dauting handling drill becomes clear and simple.
