Sort of a shorter, and lighter to carry, Chapman's, this is a comprehensive review of topics relevant to most sailing situations. A good book to start with and a helpful reference to have. Lots of good illustrations and pictures. Also, the construction/binding of the book is high quality, so it will survive being bounced around.

This is by far one of the best sailing books available for both beginning and experienced sailors.
As I was learning to sail, a friend suggested it and I learned more from this one book than any other I have seen or bought and I own 10+ books on sailing. I carried it with me for over a year and read portions every time I had a few minutes.
Highly recommended reading for sailors or anyone interested in sailing or sailboats.

I have used this book for years to pass on my on the water experiences. Bob Bond sets out all the parts of sailing in their logical categories, so the beginner starts on the right foot and collects their lessons under the right topic. this makes for calm, safe and therefore completely enjoyable sailing during and after the learning phase. This logic to the structure of the book also makes it ideal for those wishing to progress to competition and some of the details explained are directly applicable and will only be appreciated after many hours of practice. The thinking behind the book is responsible for many successfull sail training and national racing programs. Its not new, but in a race for a practical, fully illustrated text, it is still daylight second. A former sailing instructor.

Impressive breadth and sufficient depth to get you into the water. Particularly well-suited to the first-time, self-teaching small boat sailor. If you want to learn the basics from one book, this will do.
Colorful glossy print on durable paper. Brimming with illustrations and photos.
