The book instructs the reader in all the skills necessary to be able to sail competently, starting with a basic explanation of the structure of a sailing boat and the best way to set up a boat for sailing followed by a detailed discussion of the theory and practice of sailing. The practical side of sailing is emphasized.

Reader Reviews
The book has a lot of information in it. Unfortuantely, for me, it seemed to be a little bit of everything (is there anything NOT covered here?) but not enough in depth on anything. Not sure who the intended reader is for the book. It has a lot of good information but you will always want to be reaching for another book for more in-depth discussion. Would I buy again? Sorry, No.
