FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
31 May 2008
The author Jerry N. Selness, MS Naval Architect
appeared in BEA2008 Booth 732 On Friday, 30 May 2008
to answer questions about the content of and course
of his book: Primitive Benchmark: A Short Treatise on a General
Theory of Sailing with the Limits of Sailboat Speed.
He was there to pass out bookmarks and to answer questions such as: why
some first time readers keep this book by their bedside? how to predict with
the general theory the speed of any species of sailing craft? Actual
questions asked were: why did you decide to write a book? are you a sailor,
you look like one? maybe my husband will like it, he is a sailor.
The book continues on display in the Science section of the PMA booth 727
at the BEA2008 Los Angeles California through Sunday 1 June 2008.
