This review is from: The Everything Sailing Book: Sail Away with Tons of Tips, Tricks, Lessons, and Helpful Hints That Cover Every Aspect of Getting Off the Dock (Everything (Adams Media)) (Paperback)
Awesome! Great book for your beginner as well as seasoned sailor! I bought this book for my wife who is an amateour sailor and she reads it all the time. Wonderful book for general knowledge and also some interesting trivia I had no idea about. Highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in sailing or going to be on a boat for a day out at sea or for any length of time. Thanks! Chris
