Издание на английском языке
There's no substitute for actual sailing if you want to learn to sail. This booklet is only intended as a technical reference, to reinforce sailing lessons. If you're new to sailing, relax—you're in good company. Most new members of the Cal Sailing Club do not know how to sail when they join. Put this book down until later, and go sailing.
