Racing dinghies include Lasers,420s,505s,Flying Dutchmen,Stars,and a host of other classes,all placing a premium on precise fingertip control of sail and rig. A better mainsheet lead or more effective control of mast bend can spell the difference between winning and losing. Rig Your Dinghy Right shows how to design and install the paraphernalia of ropes,wire,and hardware that turn a dinghy from a lifeless structure to a racing machine. No one can sail a boat fast if the basic tuning controls do not work efficiently. Yet until now,no book has laid out the secret of optimizing these controls.
