A comprehensive guide to the exhilarating sport of sailing, this illustrated volume originated in a class taught by the author at his local yacht club in the 1940s. The treatment starts with the basics, including terminology, ropes and knots, and trimming sails; advances to fundamentals of sailing and handling a boat; and concludes with principles of racing, navigation, and sailing etiquette. Suitable for sailors of all ages.
