With both a dinghy and a day cruiser used as examples throughout and with constant reference to real situations, the author looks at the complete range of skills required in using sails as a means of propulsion. From an introduction to the art of the sailmaker to chapters on advanced tactics for racing, this is a complete guide for enthusiasts who want to understand both the theory, tides and currents, nautical safety, winds and weather and the "rules of the road".
