 Excellent guide for a boating novice August 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wonderfully well-illustrated with detailed full-colour pictures - and succinctly captioned by a sailing enthusiast and expert. Gives 12 topics to grasp and, with some first-hand practical experience, you should then be able to cast off confidently and above all safely. It is surprisingly complex but always well explained. The instruction is mainly concerned with the dinghy sailor, but the principles are also relevant to bigger boats. The author does not forget those of us who are recreational sailors rather than competitive. The book is compact, concise and comprehensive.
An excellent Publication May 18, 2001

An excellent publication, and the one book that we recommend to all our participants on our initial sailing courses. The book provides all the necessary information on the basic sailing terminology and provides clear instructions for the basic sailing manoeuvres.
 Excellent companion book for RYA Level 1 & 2 Courses October 9, 2000

This book is a slim volume that covers the fundamental aspects of dinghy handling for the beginner. As a primer in the sport, the book largely consists of very clear diagrams and pictures. The textual content is short and to the point, so I would recommend this book if you are actively involved in learning to sail and just want the core concepts in a nutshell to act as a review of what you have learnt on a sailing course. For more in-depth information into the scientific / technical reasons why boats behave in the water the way they do and their general dynamics, look elsewhere. All in all, short and sweet; it does exactly what it says on the tin.
