Dear Dashews, Got your book. great reading. But it lacks one thing: a glossary. I suspect some terms are US conventions and not European (e.g. dink). What is meant by draft (in respect of sails) for example. Best Wishes, Malcolm S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hi Macolm: Sorry about that! Draft is the depth of the sail, i.e. the thickness of the airfoil (on the main this would be measured perpendicular to the boom). Regards–Steve<\/p>\n
