Starting with sails and rigging, he covers how to get underway, sailing positions, boat handling, balancing, spinnakers, ropes and cordage. As the novice gets a grip of the fundamentals, the author introduces other aspects of sailing - the rules of the road and the problems of heavy weather and emergencies.
