A highly accurate (amusing) look at what’s what in the nautical world. It seems like a very apt entry for this website. It was cut from one of ‘those’ emails that goes around! If you are the author and I think it should not be here, I can only apologise and will of course take it off immediately… however at the same time, I would like to say that you must be a sailor to understand these things… good job!
As my first post on this site, I have decided to focus on the most fundamental technical side of sailing… the sails!! Proper sail trim is as important as making sure an engine is firing on all cylinders… one bad connection and you will get backfires and look really silly trying to get along!! Quantum Sails have a number of downloads available on their site that cover some very in-depth and technical aspects of sailing. I have copied 2 of the documents to this site as they offer some very good information in a very readable form which is exactly what I was looking for. If you want to learn about sail trim, have a look at these;
Main sail trimming guide
Head sail trimming guide
If you have problems because the files are PDFs… please leave a comment on this post and I will look for other ways to get the information to you.
I am aiming to cover some more of the technical areas of sailing in the future as the site develops so please keep coming back to see what’s new!!!
