Jib Trimming: Get the Best Power & Acceleration Whether Racing or Cruising

"...jib trimming will be de-mystified for the beginner, and the more experienced sailor..." (Sailing Magazine) “… this is an excellent introduction to trimming, and no doubt contains some useful reminders for more experienced headsail trimmers too.” (Yachts & Yachting) “Dedicated jib trimmers on racing yachts will get the most from this paperback, but what works for them should be equally effective on a cruising yacht.” (Yachting Monthly) “This book is an asset to the world of sailing and will be of great help to new and experienced jib trimmers.” (Ian MacDiarmid, MacDiarmid Sails) "This is a great way for racers to get that extra 0.5 knot and cross the line first." (Ontario Sailor) "A great place to start for those who believe that trimming a sail involves sheeting it in until it stops flapping." (Yachting Monthly) Everything you need to know about trimming the foresail: from lift, drag and sail shape to wind changes and sea state, with lots more in between.
