Customer Rating:
Summary: wow, I can sail
Comment: I really love this book. It took all the "scarey" out of sailing. It stays on the boat and I consider it my best buddy....let them Luft!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Perfect for children or those with NO experience.
Comment: I found it to be a quick read, with just the essentials to get you started. Written in a easy to read format and language, geared toward youth, it is an excellent book to share with your kids as they learn about sailing. It doesn't cover the larger boats, only focuses on the rigging, techniques and essential theory for sailing.
Bought the book for myself and to share with my son, when he is a little older. Inherited a Snark Sunfish 3.3 and just wanted the essentials to get started- this book suited my needs perfectly. Once I get a few sailing trips completed, I'm certain the need for more detailed text and/or some internet research will be needed.

Summary: Great sailing guide
Comment: The "Learning to Sail" book by the Annapolis sailing school guide is an excellent book for anyone wanting to get into the sport. The vocabulary associated with sailing and the illustrations are crystal clear and to the point. This book is more geared toward small sailboats (dingy sailboats), but the fundamentals of sailing are still there. The book is an easy read with only 94 pages with many illustrations and a very helpful glossary in the back for all the new vocabulary. While this book is definitely not an exhaustive resource manual, it still delivers great information to the new sailor regardless of your age.

Summary: Great starter book on sailing
Comment: We just purchased a Sunfish and this book was a great primer for both me and my children (ages 9 and 10). Illustrations are very helpful and fun.

This book is about learning to sail. It follows the techniques perfected at the world-famous Annapolis Sailing School, where thousands of people just like you have learned to take tiller in hand and harness the wind. You'll learn your way around a boat--what its parts are called, what they do, and how to use them to ride the wind wherever you want to go. Read this book, spend some time on a boat, and practice your new skills, and pretty soon you'll be a sailor, one of a select group of people who think there's nothing finer than hiking out to windward in a close-hauled dinghy--racing against friends or a neighboring sailing club, or alone and just for the fun of it.
