By focusing on \"wind awareness,\" Plain Sailing will help all sailors better understand the principles and practice of sail trim--how to adjust sails so they interact most efficiently with the wind. There is a direct relationship between sailing efficiency and sailing fun. Knowing when, how, and why to trim your sails is the essence of sailing. If you understand trim, you understand sailing. Plain Sailing also covers how to look at sails, how to distinguish good trim from bad, how to diagnose a blown-out sail, and much more. This book is essential reading for all beginning sailors, as well as for more experienced cruising sailors who want to get the most out of their boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDallas Murphy\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eRounding the Horn \u003c\/i\u003eand other books, and has been sailing seriously, cruising and racing inshore and off--including high-latitude cruises to Spitsbergen, East Greenland, Iceland, and Cape Horn--for thirty-five years.
