Sailing Today
. . . . this book is different. It's stuffed with over 150
clear colour illustrations and informative captions and
explanations. Genoa trim and mainsail trim, trimming
spinnakers and rig tuning are covered in three separate
sections.
. . . I recommend this little book to everyone -
wether expert or novice you'll find something.
.... The author tells me that he has plans to produce a
book on navigation and already has one in Norwegian
on astro-navigation. I can't wait!

Maybe the most positive aspect of this book is the
way Ivar explain things in basic layman's terms thus
making the subject an enjoyable read and easy to
understand. A massive bonus is heaps of colour
computer generated illustrations covering every, and
I mean every, term . . .
Ivar Dedekam's new book really is filled to the
brim with every scrap of information that both
novice and experienced sailor will welcome as
a "must have" edition to their bookshelves . . . |

"It's done well and works well, and manages to cover
a surprising amount in a fairly small book. Although he
starts with the basics, the book would still have appeal
for experienced sailors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .My personal recommendation would be
that it is a great book for intermediate sailors." |

Sailrite, Indiana
Reading this book is an excellent way to improve
your sailing skills. It is quite complete and the text
is as clear as any we have seen. But what really
sets this book apart is its illustrations. They are
simply utstanding. This is one of the few places
where first time spinnaker users can turn for help
both in rigging their boats and in using the sail.
This book is beautiful. The paper is heavily
coated and the four color illustrations are
works of art. Makes a wonderful gift - but
be sure to get one for youself as well. |

Cruising
...Ivar Dedekam has produced an excellent, clearly
written and profusely illustrated shortcut to sail and
rig tuning that will allow most sailors to climb the
long learning curve much more quickly.
.....In his introduction, he acknowledges that the
book was originally inspired by my own "bible" on
the subject, "The North U. Fast Course". I believe,
however, Ivar's to be more comprehensive and better value for money. I will urge anyone who takes their sailing seriously to buy a copy. |

Jim's Sailing Book Review
Illustrated Sail and Rig Tuning by Ivar Dedekam
Worth its weight in gold. That's all I'm gonna say. Even
if you think you're all that and a bag of chips, and there
isn't a thing you don't already know about sails and
how they work, this book is valuable to you. Why?
Because when your wife's second cousin Percy comes
aboard and starts asking endless boring questions about
airflow and rigging choices, you can just hand him this
book and tell him to look at the pretty pictures . . . . . .. |

Reading about different sail and rig tuning options have
sometimes confused me, but with Ivar's pictures, it now
becomes perfectly clear. His illustrations not only tell you
the right way to tune your boat, but show the improper
way and the effect it has on the sails ... This is a great
book to have to get the most out of your sailboat,
no matter what the size. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. |
