The Art and Science of Sails Hardcover – Illustrated, 1 Nov. 2016

Its a good book to understand the history of sails and technology of constructing sails.I would love to also have a chapter of "solid" wing sails and some in dept how to better tri and make decisions (sailing by lee sailing by luff etc.)all in all I recommend it.cheersDavid Fontyn

100% one of the best sailing books I’ve read so far. I’ve been sailing competitively for a long time and can actually understand the physics that go behind the things we do when racing.

As the book says in the introduction, more a science than an art, especially with modern materials.

Just brilliant.

Not great, it’s waffle and full of self congratulatory pages. I have not learnt anything new. Big mistake and it’s now off to a charity shop.

Lovely book - spoilt a little bit by the fact it has been bound incorrectly - with the cover on upside down and back to front! That doesn't detract too much from the contents, the science and the images though
