Description

Do you want to experience the open seas... the wind... the air... and the freedom? Do you want to master the art of sailing... but don't know much about it? If so, then you've found the right book!
If you've ever experienced sailing, then you know what it’s like. There simply isn't much like it on Earth. It is just you and your boat with the wind and the waves.
Sailing takes a special type of person to properly do it... And not everyone is cut out for the job. You've got to have your sea legs... and a love for the water. It’s so different from motor boating. Motorboats are fast, but they are loud and smelly. Whereas sail boats are quiet and serene …and not to mention the maritime heritage behind it. When you learn the art of sailing, you are joining the ranks of those few that have learned to tame the winds and the waves.
Sailing is an entirely different experience from motor boating. Just about anyone can operate a motorboat...But it takes real skill to master a sailboat.
How do you position the mast? …In which direction do you turn? How do you prevent a capsize? …These are all things that are required of a sailor.
Sailing is a lifetime hobby and passion. If you don't know how to sail, you're missing out on an incredible opportunity! And it can be so easy to start...There's nothing like sailing on the planet, and anyone can learn how - they just need to know what they're doing. Once you do, you're hooked. You’ll never go back.
In this book, you’ll discover:
- Sailing Basics… Keep your boat upright and enjoying the waves!

Why be held back any longer? Turn those desires into real action. It's not hard to sail, you just have to know what you're doing...So why not start today?
This is a complete guide to sailing. Everything you need to know about sailing is in this simple and easy to understand guide. You’ll learn:
