 Well written book on sail trim February 25, 2008
This should help improve your sail handling. This explains how and why you should care about your sails trim without a lot of math or overly complex explainations. This has made the cut for my short list of books to carry on my boat. This is both a good winter read and something that you can review from time to time while waiting out the occational summer shower.
 A Good Try September 30, 2007

This book does a decent job at describing the aerodynamics and hydrodynamics of a keelboat. Admittedly, it's a tough topic to teach from a book. The difference between books on sail trim and theory really comes down to the graphics used to help in explanation. This is where this book falls short. Having said that, though, a new sailor will learn and benefit from reading Hahne's book.

Clearly explains the theoretical and practical aspects of trim. Very enlightening. We sail faster now having read this book!! Well worth the cost and effort.
