Plain Sailing-Learning to see like a Sailor

This highly readable introduction to sail trim, Dallas Murphy’s Plain Sailing goes far to demystify the often intimidating aspects of sailing that confront the unseasoned sailor. 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.

Beautifully written, jargon-free book on how to adjust sails for greater sailing pleasure. The author strives to remove as much techy-talk as possible, under the theory that beginning sailors, for whom this book is intended, are only scared off by arcane lingo and overly complicated explanations.
