A thoroughly comprehensive work on the operation, stability and performance of a sailboat

The book also includes everything related to adjusting and installing sails and rigging (previously Adjusting Sails and Rigging). A clear and vividly illustrated book that is well suited for both beginners and active sailors.

The book is divided into four parts:

  • Sailboat operation
  • Boat structure
  • Basics of sail operation
  • Adjustments of mainsails, headsail and mainsail
  • Different types of downwind sails and their use
  • Sailboat stability and different hull shapes
  • Sailboat performance values ??and their effect in different conditions
  • Sulfur installation and adjustments

The central topic is still the installation and adjustment of sails and rigging, which is presented more broadly and with clearer illustrations than in the previous book.

The stability of a boat and its effect on sailing comfort are examined by comparing the characteristics of different hull types.
The chapter on performance values ??examines polar curves describing the speed of a boat type and the use of the information they contain in sailing efficiency in different wind conditions.

The focus is also on modern sail materials and structures that have become more common among active sailors. These include gennakers and code zero sails that use lightweight furling equipment.

Strong waves are often one of the factors that puts the greatest strain on both the boat and the crew. In the book, the effect of waves on the boat's movement and its skillful steering are topics that are rarely discussed in publications in the field.

The book discusses the specific characteristics of the types of boats currently in use. It is also a good reference for those looking for a used boat suitable for their own purposes.
