The Complete Sailor by David Seidman
"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 other topics covered are: anchoring, rope work, rigging, weather, rules of the road, trailering, and working the winds. "The Complete Sailor" takes you from the first sail to a mastery of small-boat handling.
"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." Cruising World "An introductory book with heart; i.e., the traditional arts of the sailor are emphasized over 'launch her and drive her'; excellent illustrations." WoodenBoat
