Product Description
From Booklist
Sailing increases in popularity from summer to summer, and practical instruction such as these two mariners provide is essential to the fully rigged library. From nautical jargon to life-preserving tips, Goodman and Brodie initiate novices into the currents of recreational voyaging, and their chalkboard of choice, the dinghy (a small one-mast, open boat), is, appropriately, the most often used in harbor classes. After viewing simple line drawings that explain how the sail, ropes, centerboard and tiller work together, readers then turn to the intricacies of tacking into the wind, running with it, or coming about. Reading this book before putting out for the first sortie will give any new captain steadier sea legs. Gilbert Taylor

Learning to Sail: The Annapolis Sailing School Guide,
By Robert E. Skinner (Woodbridge, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning to Sail: The Annapolis Sailing School Guide for Young Sailors of All Ages (Paperback)
Learning to Sail: The Annapolis Sailing School Guide for Young Sailors of All Ages by Di Goodman, et al, is a good informative reference for beginning sailors of all ages. I ordered a used copy of this book through Amazon.com from ZEBOOKWORM and found its condition to be accurately described on this site. I am very satisfied with my purchase and ZEBOOKWORM's service.

Great for all ages.,
By Pearson Buell (Lake Saint Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning to Sail: The Annapolis Sailing School Guide for Young Sailors of All Ages (Paperback)
This book was selected for use by the Lake Saint Louis Youth Sailing Academy after our lead instructor and our top student (age 10) both selected the same book from a group of 10 potential class text books. The kids found it easy to follow, and the adults found it easy to establish a lesson plan based on the structure of the book.

The perfect place to start.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learning to Sail: The Annapolis Sailing School Guide for Young Sailors of All Ages (Paperback)
Never mind the reviews that claim this is the best book for young sailors just starting out. At 40 and in my first boat in 20 years, it is the perfect match. Every thing I need to get my feet wet without having to read volumes of nautical tactics. The illustrations are every bit as valuable, making the whole adventure a lot less overwelming. Thinking about getting your first boat, but your're unsure of what to do? Start here!
