Currently doing a week's Yachtmaster Theory school and this afternoon our instructor regaled us with a story of winning a race (something like the annual UK first responder's yacht club race) by two hours by very careful reading and application of tips in a book called something like how to make your boat go faster. Lots of getting every sheet set just so and then positioning everyone precisely so that weight was distributed properly, so that when one guy went to make down below to make tea someone else had to move slightly backwards and to port to keep things even. Anyway the guy is an extremely old and salty sea dog who has told other stories that are definitely bullshit but I do wonder if such a book exists - something that goes through every part of sail setting and trim etc etc with a view to maximum efficiency. Any ideas?
