"This Is Sailing" is a wonderful, extremely useful manual for beginning sailors -- and more experienced ones who would like to broaden their knowledge of sailing or sailing terminology. There is scarcely a page without colour illustrations (photos and drawings), all of which are easy to see and to understand. The text is succinct and lucid, and the sailing vocabulary is in boldface. This book is quite serious when it calls itself "a complete course". Containing a massive amount of sailing know-how, "This Is Sailing" is a must for everyone who wasn't actually born sailing.
