Sailing by Peter Heaton

This vintage book is a complete and accessible guide to sailing. Designed especially for the 'landlubber', this volume provides just enough information to enable anyone to take out a small boat and bring her back safely. Sailing has been carefully selected for a modern readership, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: What This Book is All About, The Parts of the Ship, Moorings, Knots and Splicing, Bending Sails and Hoisting Them, The Theory of Sailing, Getting Under Way, Before The Wind, Reaching, Close-Hauled, Anchoring, Picking up Moorings and Storing Ship, Helmsmanship, Trim and Ballast, Reefing, and Bad Weather Tactics, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing.
