    4 out of 5 stars Pefect Primer for the Beginning Sailor   June 2, 2008
    I purchased this book with the intention of using it as a study guide for SailNY course in Basic Keelboat. The book told me all of the basic information I needed to be ready to intelligently discuss and put into practice basic knowledge about the parts of a boat, the parts of a sail, points of sail, rigging, water safety and rules of the "road."

    I recommend this book for any beginning sailor. I was learning on old olympic racing boats with a jib and a mainsail, which were very responsive, so if I could learn what I needed, this book should be appropriate for smaller, slower craft without a doubt.



    4 out of 5 stars Nice primer   October 8, 2007

    This is a compact book with lots of diagrams. Makes for a nice complement to a beginner's keelboat sailing course. More detailed information can be found in the Colgates' "Fast Track to Cruising."


    4 out of 5 stars Great Illustrations, but feels incomplete   August 6, 2007
     2 out of 2 found this review helpful

    The illustrations in this book really are outstanding; especially compared to the ASA Sailing Fundamentals book. However, the Sailing Fundamentals book is more complete when it comes to regulations and safety. I recommend using both books.


    4 out of 5 stars Nice intro to sailing   January 26, 2007
    Geared toward adult new sailors. Not a bad book at all...
