Download or read book The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sailing written by Diane Selkirk and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of learning to sail excites the imagination with fantasies of a carefree, simple way to relax. But in reality, a lot of work goes into mastering the technical aspects of sailing and learning how to get from one place to another without ending up in the water. Other sailing books go into more detail than the casual learner wants or needs. The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Sailing gives readers just what they need to know to get started and enjoy their time on the water. In it, readers get: A primer on the different types of sailboats and tips for buying or renting. Detailed descriptions of the parts and controls of a sailboat. The roles and jobs of sailor and crew. How to get the boat into the water (if it isn't already). The mechanics of sailing. Departing, anchoring, and docking. Handling, navigating, and weather. Sailing safety and emergency preparedness. The rules of the sailing road. Backup plans: engines and oars. Storing, hauling, and maintaining a sailboat.

Download or read book Sailing Simplified written by Bob Gebhardt and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-24 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailing Simplified is a literal and simple sailing training guide with a little tongue-in- cheek diversion. A person with a little boating experience, and some, or minimal, common sense, should be able to grasp the simple concept of using wind power to travel over the world's waters. This lesson plan will take you from stepping aboard a typically equipped and rigged small to medium-sized sailboat to sailing it about the local waters. It will also prime you in a small amount of the mysterious sailor's language. Warning, warning, this may lead you to a lifetime of casual sailing or lure you into a whole new way of speaking and/or acting like a sailor geek. I wish you blue skies, high tides, fair winds, light seas, loads of fun and a bone in your teeth.
