What Everyone Ought to Know About Sailboat-Sails
My name is John Payne, and I am a yacht owner and marine engineer while I started my professional career as a ships engineer in the merchant marine. My passion and love for sailing started with racing small sailing dingies (and I still love to spend a day in a Laser!) before graduating to larger racing and cruising yachts. I am also the author of the best selling Marine Electrical and Electronics Bible and the updated and revised 3rd Edition is out now. Since I first published my first yachting related book 14 years ago, I have over the years built, owned, cruised and lived aboard several cruising yachts In fact I have experienced most of the sail problems you will likely encounter, so I do understand what the problems are and how to fix them.
