A one-hour read, I enjoyed reinforcing my new learning about sailing. Someday I'll actually start to remember (and be able to USE while sailing I hope!) all those nautical terms. This one was written by a Canadian and I found some terms were not what I'd learned in my other books and instructions. Oh well, keeps us flexible, right?
