KIRKUS REVIEW
Though by no means as well fitted out as Adkins' Craft of Sail (KR, 1973), this businesslike guide should perform very well for the beginner who just wants to get his daysailer properly rigged, safely through the basic maneuvers of coming about and jibing and docked back at the pier. And in case he doesn't, instructions for fighting the capsized boat and retrieving a man overboard are included in the practical non-theoretical outline.
