Summary: A Great Sailing Reference
Comment: This book is a great reference for anyone interested in sailing. If you're looking for a book that covers both power boating as well as sailing, Chapman's might be a better choice. However, on the topic of sailing, I prefer Annapolis over Chapman's.

Summary: Essential Book for the New or Experienced Sailor

Summary: Cornerstone to any Sailing library
Comment: We were introduced to sailing from friends. They let us borrow their 2nd addition copy of this book. When they purchased a different boat we finally realized it was time to get one for ourselves. We have found it to be an invaluable reference tool, but not so "encyclopediac" that you can't enjoy reading on. In fact, when I refer to it, I always find myself distracted with other interesting topics. It is a book for any sailor to keep out on their coffee table.

Summary: Fantastic Sailing reference
Comment: I highly recommend this book for any aspect of sailing knowledge.
My brother found a first edition of this book in someone's trash, and grabbed it for me, as he knew I was a sailor and thought it might be useful or important. I had learned to sail from "Sailing for Dummies"; this, however, is (or should be) the bible for learning to sail. It is the only sailing book I've read that has described how to fly a spinnaker in a useful manner.
