From basic concepts to advanced sailing techniques and principles, a new edition of the lavishly illustrated manual offers step-by-step instruction in all aspects of sailing, encompassing such topics as weather and tides, knots, racing rules, safety precautions, and boat-buying tips, as well as more than one thousand full-color images.

A practical guide to a wonderful sport
"There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats". With those words in The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame summed up the lure of sailing. This book is a practical guide to a wonderful sport, and I hope it also reflects the joy of being afloat.
