Quite simply a great primer on sailing and the world of boats for readers of all ages."-- Cruising World "Teaches sailing with flair and poetry."-- SAIL "A great walk-through for the novice, both entertaining and thorough."-- Sailing "Sits in a class by itself. Elegantly simple, encyclopedic in scope, and a delightful reference for any novice--with lots to offer intermediate sailors, too."-- Kalamazoo Gazette If you never sailed, sailed once, or have sailed for a lifetime, this book is perfect for beginners but deep enough content for those interested in going beyond basics.
