Recent used-book store find: Sail Power: The complete guide to sails and sail handling, by Wallace Ross. Always suspect a book describing itself as 'complete,' but 450 pages of design, construction, theory, and trim practice certainly beat the bounds pretty well. Good graphics and logical organization. It helps that its technical level is precisely where I need it to be. Written in 1974 -- when good Dacron was standard but laminates just coming online, so it may be dated for the bleeding edge crowd.
