Sailing Books range from entertaining Yacht Stories on the one hand to serious sailing information and techniques on the other.
People often find it difficult to find the time to go on both theory courses as well as go sailing and so prefer to have the pleasure of being on the water to the detriment of their theoretical knowledge.
However this can be overcome to a large extent by reading, doing correspondence courses or using DVD's without having to take time off work.
Here are some of my suggestions to help you with your studies.
Books
These sailing books are well written with clear diagrams and are reasonably priced. Your time on the water will be more fulfilling with a knowledge of the theory and what is going on.
DVD's and Software
