By focusing on "wind awareness," Plain Sailing will help all sailors better understand the principles and practice of sail trim--how to adjust sails so they interact most efficiently with the wind. There is a direct relationship between sailing efficiency and sailing fun. Knowing when, how, and why to trim your sails is the essence of sailing. If you understand trim, you understand sailing. Beautifully written, with complicated sailing jargon kept to a minimum.
