Not read cover-to-cover, but a fascinating look into sail power and design. Even for the layman with just a passing interest (like me).

Very complex, very thorough everything you need to know about sails whether it's cleaning or how the wind acts upon them. A must in a sailor's library.

Our copy is worn and water wrinkled, so safe to say it's been useful.
