Ask HN: Books on Physics of Sailing

Can you recommend good books (introductory and advanced level) or other resources to start learning more on physics of sailing: explanation of physical forces, maybe even with fluid dynamics. The more technical details the better!

What can you say about "The Physics of Sailing Explained" by Bryon Anderson?
