What Customers Say About Sail Trim and Rig Tuning: A Captain's Quick Guide (Captain's Quick Guides):

I like this little guide. It's very concise. We're putting it on the boat to use on Wednesday night Beer Can Races, when our club has an open door and anyone can come on the boats, regardless of experience. I'd buy it again - and may, since we may need another on a friends boat.

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.

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). I have been looking for a quick 'cheat sheet' to use during some of our longer races. The one drawback, is that though well laminated, I would call it weatherproof, not waterproof. 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 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.

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