1.0 out of 5 stars Limited help to sailors of any level, 3 Sep 2002

By	Matthew (UK) - See all my reviews

I found this book quite unhelpful for a beginner. Good for finding out about the history of dinghys & modern developments, and clothing needed for the sport, but thats about it.

Far too many pictures which are not very good at displaying what to do, hardly any diagrams. Longwinded descriptions on how to tack and gybe, but no explanation of all the terms used!

I would not recommmend this book to anyone who wanted to get into sailing. If you want to read it, borrow it from a library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not easy to appreciate and without clear graphic guidlines, 18 Oct 1999

By	alan@8thetithings.freeserve.co.uk (England) - See all my reviews

This book is obviously targeted at the beginner and/or the rising enthusiasts in need of some practical help. There is little in its contents to argue with although it lacks in a modern means of describing the improvement techniques of trim and racing. Many drab monochrome shots of Laser 4000 examples but very little in diagrams and caring practical help and as such is slightly dated. Not for solo sailers or those who need a friendly reference sailing companion.
