Float Your Boat!: The Evolution and Science of Sailing par Mark Denny

Mr. Denny should stick to what he knows best: physics. The historical chapters of this book are not nearly as strong as those that are discussing the physics of sailing. The physics chapters for me (more of a historian than a physicist - maybe physicists would review this book differently) were much more useful and enlightening. The whole thing could use a serious round of editing, as it is annoyingly repetitive (or maybe it's just Denny's attempt at being folksy). Also disappointed that the historical portions of this text mostly focus on larger sailing vessels, not so much on the wide variety of smaller craft.… (plus d'informations)
