The Complete Sailor: Learning the Art of Sailing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After sailing for 30 years, I was looking for a book for my children to use to give them a solid foundation. I ordered another 5 star book recommended by sailing schools, but ran across this one at the library.
This book is head and shoulders above the other. It covers all the basics in an easy to read style, and the huge number of detailed drawings are both beautiful and incredibly informative.
In addition to the basic stuff you need to know to sail a small boat, it also has a wealth of deeper information, about everything from bouyancy and balance, to boat construction and history.
I'm buying a copy for each of my kids, and recommending it to my sailing friends. As for the other books, I will probably either return them, or leave them to gather dust on a shelf.

Basic Training for Horses (Doubleday Equestrian Library) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally bought the companion book Basic Riding by these two knowledgeable horsewomen. Then someone recommended this book to me when I had to teach my horse how to work on a lunge-line. It is incredible how the authors are able to present their information to accommodate many levels of horsepeople - from beginner through advanced - for western/stock, dressage/hunter/jumper, driving, etc.
I recommend these books every opportunity I have for the teenage through adult horse person who wants to have a strong background in overall horse training and riding. During the last 3 years, since I have owned these books, I have gone back to them repeatedly. I only wish I had them 6 years ago when I returned to riding.

Rich Johnson's Guide to Trailer Boat Sailing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a young old salt, I've ridden the waves enough times to know a good guide when I see one. This book taught me a few things, even though I thought I knew everything. I also like the stories in the second half of the book. The tech parts are very enlightening and the adventures he and his family have bring back lots of memories. The breezy writing style made the tech parts easy to take, and the stories were both lessons learned and funny. The book is every bit as good as his wilderness guide, and I'll keep them both by my side.

If you've ever dreamed of casting off in search of adventure wherever your heart may lead, this book will help turn those dreams into reality. A trailerable sailboat is the ideal way to explore every part of the country - wherever there are lakes, rivers, reservoirs or ocean coastline. To make the most of this exciting lifestyle, owners (or prospective owners) of trailerable sailboats need three things: an understanding of the boat and how to use it, knowledge about the tow vehicle and trailer used to transport the boat, and a spirited sense of adventure to live the dream. This book delivers all three, in a down-to-earth style old salts will appreciate, yet easy enough for budding sailors to grasp.
