Synopsis
This book is about learning to sail. It follows the techniques perfected at the world-famous Annapolis Sailing School, where thousands of people just like you have learned to take tiller in hand and harness the wind. You'll learn your way around a boat--what its parts are called, what they do, and how to use them to ride the wind wherever you want to go. Read this book, spend some time on a boat, and practice your new skills, and pretty soon you'll be a sailor, one of a select group of people who think there's nothing finer than hiking out to windward in a close-hauled dinghy--racing against friends or a neighboring sailing club, or alone and just for the fun of it.

    Good book for people who have never sailed

    As a person who has never sailed, this book goes over the basic principals and vocabulary of sailing in an easy way. This book WILL NOT go into details of crossing the ocean or living on the sailboat. In fact, it really is more about how to go on a day sail. But if you know NOTHING about sailing, this explains it very well.

    Great for the new sailor or experienced sailor.

    This book will teach you how to sail if you have never sailed before or is a good quick reference for the more experienced sailor. Easy to read for a young person and sufficient information for any adult. Makes sailing fun and easy.
