Critics Review
”… this is an excellent introduction to trimming, and no doubt contains some useful reminders for more experienced headsail trimmers too.”
”…jib trimming will be de-mystified for the beginner, and the more experienced sailor…” Sailing, November 2007”… this is an excellent introduction to trimming, and no doubt contains some useful reminders for more experienced headsail trimmers too.” Yachts & Yachting, October 2005 “Dedicated jib trimmers on racing yachts will get the most from this paperback, but what works for them should be equally effective on a cruising yacht.” Yachting Monthly, 2005 “This book is an asset to the world of sailing and will be of great help to new and experienced jib trimmers.” Ian MacDiarmid, MacDiarmid Sails
