Dinghy Sailing (Teach Yourself) - Softcover
This is a practical, introductory guide to mastering the techniques of dinghy sailing. It is designed to take the beginner through every stage of learning to sail from getting the boat afloat to advanced techniques of trapezing and using spinnakers. It aims to teach the first-time sailor to become familiar with essential techniques in a logical sequence, progressing from the basics of rigging, clothing and safety equipment to handling a boat in rough weather and ultimately putting the newly acquired skills to the test in competitive dinghy racing. Each procedure is explained and demonstrated with step-by-step photographs or drawings. There are also sections on tuning a boat, knots and ropework and car-topping and trailing. Bob Bond was the first National Sailing Coach for the Royal Yatching Association and went on to become Training Manager. Steve Sleight is a qualified RYA yachtmaster and coach examiner.
