5.0 out of 5 stars Written to teach young folks how to safely ride a boat, September 17, 2001
This review is from: First Sail: An Adventure Story Designed to Help New Sailors Learn the Ropes (Hardcover)
Richard Henderson's First Sail is more than a warmly illustrated picturebook. It is an educational adventure, written to teach young folks how to safely ride a boat out on the waves. Every single page spread has an important selection of facts, vocabulary, knots, or sailing techniques, all with diagrams, all crucial for a brand new sailor just starting out. In fact, most adults will find a fascinating wealth of brand new information, unless they've been sailing for so long they know what beating to windward is, or the difference between a bowline and a fisherman's bend knot. With splendid illustrations by Jennifer Heyd Wharton throughout, the story itself is a sailing adventure that incorporates all the things and techniques of sailing shown in the sidebars. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for teaching young children about sailing, November 23, 2004
This review is from: First Sail: An Adventure Story Designed to Help New Sailors Learn the Ropes (Hardcover)
My son loves this book. It has taught him much about sailing in a fun and entertaining way. He likes having it read to him as a bedtime story.
