Ebook: How to Sail: A Complete Handbook of the Art of Sailing for the Novice

Since the publication and generous acceptance of The Boatman’s Manual as a standard handbook and guide to small-boat seamanship, navigation, and operation, I have received many letters suggesting that I expand the material on sailing to meet the needs of the pure novice and the raw beginner. Of necessity that book assumed that the reader could sail. But seemingly there are many of us who love little ships but are completely at sea (or, rather, not at sea) in our knowledge and experience of their basic handling.
