By: American Sailing, Harry Munns, Bob Diamond, Tom Landers, Mary Swift-Swan, Lan Yarbrough

Narrated by: Andy Mahaney

Sailing Made Easy is the first step in a voyage that will last you the rest of your life. It is a gift from a group of dedicated sailing professionals who have committed their lives to sharing their art, their skill, and their passion for this wonderful activity.

This book, which Sailing Magazine called "best in class" upon its release, is the most comprehensive education and boating safety learn-to-sail guide to date. It is also the official textbook for the ASA Basic Keelboat Standard (ASA 101). There are also chapter-end quizzes and a glossary to help those new to sailing navigate their way through the extensive nautical terminology.

The book is detailed yet to the point. Extremely helpful!

I have a difficult time with reading and comprehension since I had a stem cell transplant and chemo after a cancer diagnosis. I had the audio and the physical book and followed along. I passed the sailing 101 course with ease. Looking forward to sailing on our new to us boat.

Lacks of pdf attachment

This type of book really needs a pdf accompaniment. There are too many diagrams and illustrations to go without. Not to mention the review questions that just ding for the blank spots.
