5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Help In Preparing for Certification
By L. Shirley on November 25, 2013
Basic Cruising is written for a beginner. It carefully explains everything: Each part of the boat, to getting ready, leaving the dock, and going out for your first sail. It also clearly teaches the points of sail(which direction the wind is hitting the sails), and other basic maneuvers which are important to know. If you are feeling the need to have the wind on your face, but first want that all-important certification, this one - in conjunction with some lessons - will be a big help in passing the test.

If you're just getting started Basic Cruising will be a tremendous help. For first time boat owners(of any class) or for those thinking about trying out their sea-legs, the U.S. Coast Guard gives classes on basic boating rules that are free. I would highly recommend these before the sailing lessons. Check with your community services for the closest class near you, or go to any boat show, they are usually represented - or just call - and sign up!
Happy Sailing....Laurie

Thanks so much.
