5.0 out of 5 stars
Written to teach young folks how to safely ride a boat,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
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.

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.
