Title: Too complicated to build sailing skills
Product review: This book does not achieve what it promises: to transition novice sailors to cruise-ready in seven days. The book is so crammed with sailing jargon and theory, that the reader cannot follow along well enough to gain confidence about advancing sailing expertise. By chapter three, it leaves readers feeling inept and hopeless. The authors use the book as a vehicle for sharing random, unnecessary tidbits such as how to cure hiccups! Stick to U.S. Sailing's certification books such as Basic Keelboat, Basic Cruising, and Bareboat Cruising instead.
