Smallboat Sailing

While David was working as an editor at Sailing World Magazine in the 1980s, he was asked by Sports Illustrated to write a book on sailing for their series of Winner's Circle Books on different sports. The result was a 240-page book called Smallboat Sailing, published in 1990 with lots of photos and illustrations by Dave's brother Brad. The book is written to cover the basics of sailing with a bias on performance and how to sail your boat "right", whether you are daysailing or racing. Though the book is no longer in print, the chapters reprinted here may be of interest to many sailors.
