    A new book about the "science of sailing" is being published. Not inexpensive but could be worthwhile reading for someone interested in the more technical side of how sailboats work and their design.
    Since handing over the daily running of the ‘Van Oossanen’ group of companies to Perry van Oossanen and Niels Moerke, founder Peter van Oossanen has committed himself to the writing of a book on his favourite subject: “The Science of Sailing”.​
