Learning to Sail

by Harold A. Calahan

This classic guide for the first-time sailor centers on the small sailboat. The author, who assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the reader, begins with the selection of a first boat and conveys enough information to enable anyone to take out a small boat and bring her in safely. 111 black-and-white figures.

[Bramble]

Nice for the period language and attitudes. Covers everything more recent introductory books do with an air of yellowing pages and flannel suits.
