Book Reviews of The Handbook Of Sailing
Book Review: Extremely helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
I took up sailing this summer, and found that, while no book can replace the physical experience on the boat, one needs an instruction manual to keep up with all the maneuvers and terminology that are thrown at you. The Handbook Of Sailing provides concise and very well organized information, with ample illustrations. It's the perfect accompanying textbook for someone who's still trying to learn the lefts and rights of boating.
