Excellent Beginners Book

This book is an excellent starting manual for beginners. Granted, when sailing there is no substitute for experience, but the beginning sailor, without the benefit of classes, will have no trouble learning the ropes after this book. Other books just gloss over beginning sailing, and focus on cruising or racing. This is the pure and simple beginners handbook. Text is clear and concise, summaries and vocabulary lists accompany each chapter, and the photos are useful with descriptive captions. Definitely worth checking out.
