Practical Sailor (July 2010) recently looked at the online courses that help mariners obtain their U. S. Coast Guard Masters License, one of the benchmarks in a professional sailor’s education. Next on the editorial agenda are sailing schools, the wide range of on-thewater programs that guide the recreational sailor along in his or her development. This month, we look at two new texts from the two largest organizations responsible for setting the standards for sailing instruction in North America: The American Sailing Association and U.S. Sailing.  \nLearn SaiLing right!  \nReleased in 2009 “U.S. Sailing’s Learn Sailing Right! Beginning Sailing” is published by the U.S. Sailing Association, the national governing body for competitive sailing. U.S. Sailing offers training and educational programs for race officials and instructors, issues offshore rating certificates, and provides oversight of competitive racing across the country, including the National Championships. The book is the first in its certification series and is aimed at sailors of small boats, as opposed those sailing keel boats.  \nBroken down into 15 chapters, with a foreword by sailing icon Gary Jobson,“Learn Sailing Right!” ($18) features two-color illustrations by longtime sailing illustrator Michael Boardman, who also illustrated “Sailing for Dummies,” of the popular Dummies series. John Kantor, founder and director of the Longshore Sailing School, and Sheila McCurdy are credited with most of the writing, although several other contributors are named. The book is used in U.S. Sailing’s Beginning Sailing programs around the coun-  \ntry, including a number of summer camps and sailing schools for  \nchildren.  \nThe strongest parts of U.S. Sailing’s textbook are the accessibility of its content, its focus on fundamentals, and its logical organization. The book’s incremental and practical approach to small boat instruction is clear from the outset with its first chapter,“Preparing Yourself for Sailing,” focusing on wearing alife jacket and sunscreen.  \nInstructional points arepresented in chunks, with a short discourse describing the main point of the lesson, a series of illustrations covering the topic, and one or two additional text boxes adding additional key points. Light on text, this format allows the student to easily review the key points and apply them on the water.  \nThe two-color line drawings are unexciting, but instructive. A key oversight, in our view, is not labeling some of the illustrations and not adding callouts identifying key components in some of them.  \nBottom line: Well organized and covering the main points with relative clarity, brevity, and simplicity,“Learn Sailing Right!” is a well-structured primer that an effective instructor can put to good use. Its basic presentation, however, will limit its value outside the course.  \nSaiLing Made eaSy  \nFounded in 1983, the American Sailing Association was formed to address the growing need for standardized sailing instruction in the United States. Today, the association boasts more than 300 affiliate schools worldwide. “Sailing Made Easy”($25), the ASA’s textbook for its Basic Keelboat 101, is aimed at a slightly different crowd than U.S. Sailing’s beginner’s textbook. The majority  \nof the  \nstudents in  \nthe ASA’s Keelboat  \n101 program are adults, and many are looking to earn certification that enables them to charter or rent sailboats. This 120-page book is a fourcolor publication with dozens of photographs, including some useful detail shots of common components such as cam cleats, headfoil feeders, and genoa winches. Edited by America’s Cup navigator Peter Isler (who also edited “Sailing for Dummies”) and PS contributor Jeremy McGeary, the book begins with a light introduction","cbCaisDQF9DSFGaz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisDQF9DSFGaz","pdf",161912,"English","# Learn Sailing Right!
