Part
7
Sailing offers a curious combination of peace and quiet and laid-back lifestyle
with intellectual and physical challenge, depending on how you go about it.
Sailing, Sailing …
This part details the language of sailors as well as the remarkable variety of
types of sailing vessels, ranging from fly-weight sailboards to giant schooners
big enough to take on transoceanic voyages.
And although getting started in sailing usually requires a bit of hands-on
instruction, you can learn the basics through reading this part—from
attaching and hoisting the sails to steering through all the points of sail
from close-hauled to a downwind run.
