The book is a compilation of articles written for SAIL magazine. The editors took the best articles and made them available in this book. Each chapter deals with a different subject, e.g., mail sail and head sail trimming, tactics etc. The authors are names that you will recognize. This the best of the books I have read for the person who wants to get that last little bit of speed from their boat. It is a must read for the person getting into racing. Love it so much that my sailing buddies got this for Christmas from me.
