There's something romantic about setting sail on your own boat to parts unknown. The reality might be a little closer to home and require a lot of work, but the end results are well worth it.
Written by a sailor who writes and a writer who sails, this seaworthy guide gives readers information on buying (or renting) a boat, getting it in the water and casting off, obeying the rules of the sailing road, and many other technical aspects of sailing. With The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Sailing, beginning sailors can relax and enjoy their time on the water.
