How to Sail outlines basic sailing techniques for both the beginner and experienced sailor.

The handbook also includes a useful glossary explaining sailing terms, an extensive list of recommended reading and a comprehensive index for easy reference. No serious sailing enthusiast should be without How to Sail.
