Written by America's foremost instructional authority, the new edition of SAILING FUNDAMENTALS is widely recognized as the official 'learn-to-sail manual' of the American Sailing Association (ASA) - and used in the training programs of many yacht clubs, colleges, and sailing groups, including the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary nationwide. While most introductory sailing books reflect the biases and idiosyncrasies of their authors, SAILING FUNDAMENTALS is extensively pretested by ASA professional instructors to ensure it offers only the fastest, easiest, most systematic ways to learn basic sailing and coastal cruising. This invaluable guide covers every aspect of beginning sailing-from hoisting sail to docking and anchoring - and specifically prepares readers to qualify for sailing certification according to international standards.
