Basic is the word.

I recently became incurably obsessed with learning to sail, and reading this book was an outlet for my obsession. I enjoyed it. Maybe some day I really will learn to sail.

A fine introduction to sailing.

I have the paperback edition published by Prentice Hall (1986). ISBN 0-671-60970-X
