Excellent drawings to motivate basic dinghy sailing along with a lot of timeless material given the age of the title. Younger readers will need to be cautioned about the non-sailing topics especially life safety eg CPR which has changed hugely since publication. But focused on sailing and the wonderful illustrations, this is a great book.

Read this as a teenager when learning to sail. I remember it taught me a great deal.

This is a good book for people who are just getting into sailing. I would definitely recommend it for youth who are just starting out in sailing.
