When the sailing bug bites, one of the first questions the would-be sailor asks himself is : how to go about it?Sailing for Beginners caters equally for the young enthusiast with his first dinghy  and the successful business man with his newly acquired yacht.Mr Toghill gives basic but comprehensive information about sailing boats of all sizes and classes. Starting with sails and rigging, he covers how to get underway, sailing positions, boat handling, balancing, spinnakers, ropes and cordage. As the beginning-sailor gets a grip of the fundamentals, the author introduces him to other aspects of sailing: the rule of the road and the problems of heavy weather and emergencies.Every man, woman or youngster who delights in the superlative joys of wind and water--no matter what shape or size of boat they sail--will here find an invaluable introduction to sailing technique.Jeff Toghill, a graduate of the School of Navigation, Southampton University, lives in Sydney where he conducts his Schools of Sailing and Navigation. He has had more than thirty-five years of practical experience in all types of small craft and is the author of sixteen books, many of which are published internationally. He writes extensively for magazines in Australian television and radio. His practice as a marine consultant gives him a close insight into the boating industry and keeps him up to date with the latest trends.
