This instructional work is designed for individuals who want to gain a deeper understanding of sailing and yacht handling techniques rather than simply memorizing rules. With over thirty years of personal experience in the field, Day shares insights into seamanship, boat types, and best practices for enjoyable, safe sailing. The opening of the book establishes the author’s intent and philosophy regarding teaching sailing. Day emphasizes that this guide is intended for those learning to handle small vessels and aims to provoke thought rather than impose rigid rules. He discusses the importance of personal experience and critical thinking in successful seamanship, encouraging readers to question established norms and tailor their learning to their unique circumstances. In laying the groundwork for the chapters to follow, Day highlights the value of experience, self-trust, and preparation in the art of maritime navigation.
