Sail Trim Book to replace “The Best Of Sail Trim”

[Channel Sailor]

My Charles Mason complied sail trim bible book is getting rather dated, it was last printed in the early 1990s. For a Christmas gift idea, does anyone know of a good more up to date replacement?

What about this:
Illustrated Sail & Rig Tuning: Genoa & Mainsail Trim, Spinnaker & Gennaker, Rig Tuning: 1 (Illustrated Nautical Manuals): Amazon.co.uk: Dedekam, Ivar: 9781898660675: Books
Does not purport to be a "bible"; but is a very well structured short book, covering the modern sails/rig. It is part of a series, you might check the others out too.

Another one
North U Racing Trim - North U

Had this exact issue and went for the North U Trim one. Not quite as in depth on the science as Best of Sail Trim but more modern and applicable to racing today.

Both of these look interesting. Unless I am mistaken a quick look shows one is published 2000 and the other 2003. 10 years fresher than Best Of Sail Trim.

My “North U. Trim” is the sixth edition, dated 2021. Purchased from Force 4 online.

Thank you. That will do nicely. I will need to be careful as to where it is bought.
