Gretchen:
While taking sailing courses is good and prudent, it is also good to have some
books on hand. Here are a few that I keep on hand in my sailing library that may
help you and can be found without extensive searching.
THIS IS SAILING, Creagh-Osborne, sponsored in part by SAIL Magazine (This is a
great book that covers all the basics of sailing and with good illustrations and
attention to detail.)
THIS IS BOAT TUNING FOR SPEED, Imhoff & Pranger, sponsored in part by SAIL
Magazine (This book goes beyond the one above, describing in detail the things
you can do to sail faster in just about all conditions. Well illustrated.)
HANDLING SMALL BOATS IN HEAVY WEATHER, Frank Robb (Self explanatory.)
THE GUIDE TO HIGH PERFORMANCE POWERBOATING, Joanne A. Fishman (Don't laugh at
this one, as it has some pretty useful information about running inlets, boating
in heavy weather, etc.)
