Some basic explanation, but there is more...

The book is little tricky at first. When you start reading it there are some basic information for the beginners, but when you get through it, there are some serious and very helpful information about the complete racing trim. The best part of the book is that funcion of every trim device is clearly illustrated with photos showing false settings, how to identify the "bad trim" while the following photos shows the correction and how the sail should look. I find this very helpfull because sometimes it is hard to visualize what should the draft, wrinkles, mast bend and stuff like that look like at the described trim. With this book you can quickly identify your mistakes and correct them what is essential at racing and can be very useful in cruising also.
