Rob Gibson, author of the RYA SailTrim Handbook for Cruisers, will pass on his huge experience in racing, cruising and sail training. Whether it’s thrashing across an ocean or a day-sail to a country pub, good sail trim will get you there faster, in greater comfort and with more pleasure.
Rob will talk about the essentials of rig set-up, different types of sail and sail materials and their uses, the benefits of good balance and the various controls to achieve good trim.
