Sail trim and rig tuning made easy! Both for experts and novices. In this new book I have tried to distil those rules of thumb and theories pertaining to sail trim and rig tuning commonly agreed upon among the sailing community. What makes this new book on sail trim and rig tuning different from most other books on the topic, is the short, concentrated text with adjacent corresponding illustrations. 80 pages with more than 150 particularly descriptive colour illustrations giving an interesting, easily accessible introduction to the art of trimming sails and rig. The aim is to make it easier to find, understand and last but not least remember the information that you are seeking pertaining to sail trim and rig tuning.

Learn to sail better! Improve your knowledge of sail trim and rig tuning with this uniquely illustrated sailing manual. More than 150.000 copies have till now been sold to over 26 countries. Have a look at the Demo pages, reviews and letters from more than satisfied customers !

Finally, it is gratifying that, after 18 years, Illustrated Sail & Rig Tuning is our 3rd best-selling title this financial year! What a success!

With best wishes, Jeremy Atkins of Fernhurst Books
