Relax. Sailing isn't all that difficult or mysterious, says Dallas Murphy in this new and very different sailing manual. He covers sailing's most important skills and equipment without intimidating his readers and without dumbing-down his material.

He is that rare combination, a professional writer who thinks like a sailor, or as he puts it, 'someone who sees the wind.' Anyone who has been intimidated or frustrated trying to learn to sail must read Plain Sailing. It will be a revelation."--John Kretschmer, Author
