Sails 101

At the behest of Points East, I talked at a seminar on sail trim last night in a local marine store. It was gratifying to see 40 faces crowd in out of the cold and dark to learn more about the avocation they love. We talked about draft and twist and about jostling air molecules with only bits of yarn to tell the tale of their passing. On the drive home the waxing new moon was climbing the ecliptic.
