Breaking down the complicated concepts of speed, acceleration, torque, fluid mechanics, and surface physics, this book provides an introduction to the basic science underlying the sport of sailing. It also explores how the spectrum, reflection, and polarization of light lead sailors to 'see' wind on the water.
