When I first met American Sailing Association Executive Director Charlie Nobles four years ago he told me the association was in the process of updating its instructional sailing books. Looking at the newly published Sailing Made Easy, it is easy to see that those four years were time well spent. The superbly produced textbook, which will serve as the new official textbook for the ASA's Basic Keelboat course, is the perfect tool for learning the basics of sailing. Learning to sail is primarily a visual process, and Sailing Made Easy gets it right with high-quality, detailed illustrations and photographs. Text is clear and concise, and the book's layout just makes sense, with each topic given its own two-page spread that allows students to seamlessly progress through subjects as they build on their knowledge of sailing skills. Moreover, the writing is not a stale recitation of do's and don'ts, but will hold a reader's interest, making learning fun, as it should be. That writing is thanks to a team of expert sailing instructors led by coeditors Peter Isler and Jeremy McGreary. At 120 pages, the textbook features a water-resistant cover and is color coded and indexed for easy reference. A glossary contains common sailing terms and chapter quizzes let students test their understanding of the material. --Tim Gregoire, Sailing Magazine, July 2010 Sailing education just got a face-lift. The American Sailing Association recently published Sailing Made Easy, perhaps the most comprehensive learn-to-sail guide on bookshelves today. Editors Peter Isler and Jeremy McGeary worked with lead writer Harry Munns to compile a beautifully designed and thoroughly researched manual that covers all of ASA's 101 course. The text summarizes hundreds of complex sailing concepts and is accompanied by useful illustrations and great photos. There are quizzes at the end of each chapter, and a glossary helps those new to sailing navigate their way through the extensive nautical lexicon they've just learned. Sailing Made Easy is a significant improvement over its predecessor and is best coupled with an ASA class, where you can take the lessons from the book and apply them on the water. --Meredith Laitos, Sail Magazine, June 2010Sailing education just got a face-lift.

We have been in the sailing business since 1983. We can say, without reservation, that this is the best learn-to-sail book available.
It is a good basic book and a great place to start for ... Bought this for my wife who had no sailing experience. It is a good basic book and a great place to start for a new sailor. Nothing beats hands on, but it really helped her to feel prepared for her introduction to sailing!Fundamentals Great beginners book. A little pricey for the amount of content, but great info none the less.A quick and easy to understand introduction to the sport/hobby of sailing A quick and easy to understand introduction to the sport/hobby of sailing. It is a short book, so it won't cover every contingency a future world sailor will face; however, it is also complete enough that it will get you on the water pretty quickly. This is the same book used in ASA courses, and frankly, after reading it I'm not convinced I got anything more from the actual course. If you're half-azz smart, can read and comprehend well, and you don't mind working on your own then this book will give you everything an instructor will, but not show up late to class.
