      About This Book

      1984, hardcover, Dodd Mead, NY. 178 pages, b&w illustrations and photos throughout. The unusual author writes for magazines, has a sailing and sail-making background, and holds a doctorate degree in marine biology. "This title 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. Approximately 100 drawings and photos illustrate the text. Technical, but written in a conversational style, making the prose easy to absorb.
