For most sailors, boat tuning may seem a mystery understood only by
sailmakers and the like. In this book, sailor, chandler and championship
winner, Ian Pinnell, unravels this daunting subject and will help
improve your boatspeed as a result. Since most races are won or lost by
a difference of less than 2% of racing time, you will soon be moving up
the fleet. With hundreds of photos and diagrams to illustrate every
point, the book clearly explains what each control does and how to set
it up optimally for different conditions. Additional troubleshooting and
skills sections take things even further, making this the bible of
dinghy tuning.
