Product Description
The Perfect Sailor takes the reader from the first sail to a mastery of tiny-boat handling. Weaving his writing around 600 drawings by noted marine illustrator Kelly Mulford, David Seidman has made a book in which each double-page spread invites the eye and communicates volumes of information. The Perfect Sailor goes beyond additional learn-to-sail books to take in navigation, boat design, and seamanship. Encyclopedic in scope yet warm in style, it conveys the magic as well as the techniques of sailing. Among the additional topics covered: anchoring, ropework, rigging, weather, fog, squalls, currents and tides, rules of the road, trailering, and effective the winds. The book is a gentle introduction for persons just starting out, and a guide to new horizons for persons who already sail.

I ordered this book from Amazon in August of 2006. It’s now January of 2007 and I still don’t have it. Every month, Amazon has questioned me to be uncomplaining and has agreed me a new anticipated ship date. I can’t know why they offer a product that is not stocked and not available.

This book covers a wide area in sailing. Some things aren’t relevent to the learning to sail. The leader tried to fill the pages with words. I was unable to pick up much valuable knowledge from the book. This book is only suitable for beginners or people who want to know a small about sailing.

My partner dreams of cruising across oceans. He gave me this book, along with Lin Pardeys Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew. I am truly hooked. Seidman makes sailing accessible. Lin Pardey makes crossing oceans in a boat we can really dream of owning, do able. I recommend both!
