A SAILOR'S GUIDE TO SAILS, by Sven Donaldson, discusses everything that a recreational sailor needs to know about modern sails, from sailcloth fundamentals to the latest in sail-handling equipment.
The author describes how sails are designed and how sails are actually made, and there are over 100 drawings and photographs that illustrate the text. Technical, but written in a conversational style, thus making the prose easy to absorb.
