Book Review: Community Sailing Center Supported
Summary: 5 Stars
My name is Scott Livingston and I am the Assistant Director of Baltimore's Downtown Sailing Center.We have been instructing adults to sail since 1993, and we currently put more than 300 students through our programs every year.
We have been using Basic Keelboat since day 1, and all of our students have given this book high ranks.
This book breaks down the fundamentals of sailing, into digestible bits and pieces, with fantastic illustrations which help people to learn.
There is no better way to learn then actually being on the water, but by thoroughly reading this book, you will gain the academics towards sailing, and this will help the on the water experience significantly.
This is also a good book to come back time and time again, and really solidify your sailing abilities.
