 Sail Trim August 15, 2008
It is nice to have an on board guide to help learn sail trimming and be able to compare results with inputs. The guide is nicely sized and well organized.
 handy in a race, but not really waterproof July 29, 2006

I have been looking for a quick 'cheat sheet' to use during some of our longer races. This is a very nice presentation, especially the last section where the author addresses quick things to try when you have problems (oh yea! the backstay!). It unfolds like a big road map, and is well organized (though there is a bit on rig tuning that is useful before, but not during the race).
The one drawback, is that though well laminated, I would call it weatherproof, not waterproof. it really hasn't held up as well as I'd like after being dropped into water on the cockpit floor.
Take care of it, and it will be good to you and your race.
Anything that gets your crew thinking about trim and speed is a good thing.
Good refrence guide. September 7, 2005

Easily read by the crew on the way to the race. Items not understood offer a chance to discuss the finer points of sailing.
