Much interesting information about oceans, weather, physics, tools, and of course how to sail. It made me aware of why I joined the Navy. It was well thumbed through by the time I winnowed it from my physical library.

Great little reference for small sailing, the core of skill building for sailors. This has been followed by newer versions, but I just love this book as it was the first instruction I recieved in my forty-some years of sailing.

Excellant on minor sailing boats
