The book primarily aims to instruct readers on handling and maneuvering boats safely, covering essential skills such as understanding sail configurations, anchoring techniques, and emergency procedures. The opening of the treatise establishes its purpose, noting that it is not intended for experienced sailors but rather for novices seeking confidence in sailing small boats. Frazar emphasizes the sport's safety, arguing that with the proper knowledge and management, sailing can be a secure activity. The initial chapters focus on essential terminology and the basics of sailing equipment, providing readers with a foundation for understanding how to operate a yacht or small boat effectively. He discusses the importance of knowing various types of boats and rigs suited for different sailing conditions, setting the stage for practical maneuvers discussed in later chapters.
