Reviews

[Dave Riley · Rating 3 out of 5]

For the likes of me -- a DIY sailor sailing a canoe -- this is the sort of 101 basics I need. You have to adapt the information a bit as he does more or less stick with a set number of dinghy classes, but the book ticks the main boxes.

It's generic enough to be general enough.
