Review

Sailing is enjoyed by people all over the world. In thousands of places at any one time, people are afloat in sailboats of all shapes, sizes and design. In this beautiful and practical book, one of the world's foremost sailors, New Zealand's Peter Blake, tells you all you need to know about the basics of sailing. The more advanced sailor will also find much of interest. Choosing a boat to suit you and advice on buying secondhand; building your own; sailing dinghies; cruising yachts; maintenance; navigation; weather and safety; using the wind to drive your boat; racing; all these topics and more are well covered. While full of practical advice, An Introduction to Sailing is above all about the joy and beauty of sailing which the author wants to share with you. Lavish color photographs and numerous diagrams accompanied by concise, informative captions illustrate the book throughout. --Midwest Book Review
