Cover sailing techniques, emergencies, safety precautions, piloting and navigation, buoys and markers, and ropes and knots. Heighten your competitive streak with a close-up look at racing, from small club events to the America's Cup and the "Rules of the Road"--the conventions of flags, lights, and signals.
