Présentation de l'éditeur
SAILING FUNDAMENTALS combines the training programmes of the American Sailing Association and the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary to bring a comprehensive and practical 'learn to sail' manual to the enthusiastic yachtsman.
Unlike most introductory sailing books, which reflect the biases and idiosyncracies of their authors, SAILING FUNDAMENTALS offers the fastest, easiest, most systematic way to learn basic sailing and basic coastal cruising. Covering every aspect of first time sailing - from hoisting sail to docking and anchoring - the guide specifically prepares the learner to qualify for sailing certification according to international standards.
