Practical First Steps for New Sailors

This beginner's manual from Fernhurst Books sets out the fundamentals of sailing in clear, practical terms, aimed squarely at people picking up the sport for the first time. Author John Driscoll walks through boat handling, points of sail, basic manoeuvres and safety, the groundwork every new sailor needs before heading out on the water.

Instructional content of this kind is designed to be worked through progressively, making it a natural companion to early sailing lessons or a first season on a dinghy or small keelboat.

Well suited to complete beginners, or as a refresher for anyone returning to sailing after time away.
