Basic Sailing

Editorial Reviews
WoodenBoat
"An introductory book with heart; i.e., the
traditional arts of the sailor are emphasized over 'launch her and drive her';
excellent illustrations."
Cruising World
"A real winner... A masterful blend of
straightforward text with delightful and instructive illustrations. Quite
simply a great primer on sailing and the world of boats for readers of all
ages."
Book Description
The Complete Sailor takes the reader from the first
sail to a mastery of small-boat handling. Weaving his writing around 600
drawings by noted marine illustrator Kelly Mulford, David Seidman has created
a book in which each double-page spread invites the eye and communicates
volumes of information. The Complete Sailor goes beyond other
learn-to-sail books to cover navigation, boat design, and seamanship.
Encyclopedic in scope yet warm in style, it conveys the magic as well as the
techniques of sailing. Among the other topics covered: anchoring, ropework,
rigging, weather, fog, squalls, currents and tides, rules of the road,
trailering, and working the winds. The book is a gentle introduction for those
just starting out, and a guide to new horizons for those who already sail. -
