SAILING 101

Want to learn about sailing, but aren't quite ready to jump in a boat and hoist the mainsail? Check out Sailnet.com's "Learning to Sail" area. To paraphrase, "a graphic is worth a thousand words." There are plenty of great graphics here to help even the most adamant "land lubber" navigate (excuse the pun) through the basics of sailing. Topics covered range from terminology to safety, and there's even an area devoted to buying boats. A bibliography of suggested reading is provided for the student-sailor looking for even more. Don't miss the section of "sea stories" from other readers (you can even add your own) and their experiences on the briny main. Some funny, some strange, but all informative. May the winds fill your sails soon!
