What is the best shape for a sailboat? How does turbulence affect a
sailboat's movement through the water? Why do some keels have
wings? Is it true that some sailboats can sail faster upwind than
downwind? Authoritative yet accessible, The Physics of Sailing
Explained is the perfect book for all those sailors who want to
enhance their understanding and enjoyment of life at sea. It will
enable cruisers and racers alike to better grasp how sails, keels,
and hulls work together to keep boats afloat, and will sharpen
their skills with a more subtle and thorough appreciation of why
various boat design features are present and why certain tactics
work in certain situations. Anderson outlines the science behind
sailing in a way that anyone can understand and benefit from
without having to trudge through a physics text or became a naval
architect. Concepts are conveyed simply, concisely, and with many
examples and illustrations. With the help of this invaluable book,
sailors will be better prepared to handle any situations that might
arise on the water.
