Summary: "The offical learn-to-sail manual of the American Sailing Association, it is also used in the programs of many yacht clubs, colleges, and sailing groups. Unlike most introductory sailing books, which reflect the biases and idiosyncrasies of their authors, Sailing Fundamentals has been extensively pretested by ASA professional instructors to ensure that it offers the fastest, easiest, most systematic way to learn basic sailing and basic coastal crusing. This book covers every aspect of beginning sailing-from hoisting sail to docking and anchoring-and specifically prepares the learner to qualify for sailing certification according to international standards"--Back cover.
