Book Reviews of Sailing Fundamentals
Book Review: Not Very Good for Those Who Want to Sail Small Boats Inland
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book to refresh my knowledge of sailing small sailboats in inland lakes after a 15 year hiatus from sailing, and didn't find it very appropriate. As others have mentioned, there are also a lot of typographical and editing errors, which is odd considering it was written as an aid to certification.
There was a lot of information about coastal sailing, but I'm willing to bet that there are a lot more sailboats in the 14' or less range than larger ocean-faring sailboats. At the very least, if I was the author of this book I would mention it's target audience on the cover, or change the name to coastal sailing fundamentals.
