Go Dinghy Sailing

Assuming no prior knowledge, this entry level guide aims to inspire novices of all ages to give sailing a try. Conveying the fun, accessibility and exhilaration of sailing, it covers everything the beginner needs to learn about, whether they are young, middle aged or taking up sailing as a family.



Topics include:

- How to get started

- Where (and how) to find a club

- Choosing the right type of boat

- The differences between cruising and racing a dinghy

- Learning to sail

- Trolleying, trailing, launching and recovery

- and much, much more



Colour photographs illustrate each section.



Also included is a DVD featuring the authors demonstrating what they've described in the book, which should inspire newcomers by showing them that they too can learn how to sail a dinghy even if they've never been on the water before.
