9. SAILING TIPS
With the large number of books about sailing readily available,
it may seem strange that we would also want to venture into this
area. We would like to recommend those books that deal
primarily with the handling of the keel type sailboat you now
own. We would also like to recommend that each owner attend the
United States Power Squadron Courses given in his community.
Don’t let the title fool you,
there is a lot on sailing, and
remember that when you are using the
engine you become a
powerboat. Even the experienced boatman can learn something
new, but even more important is the opportunity to teach. Take
this opportunity to learn or pass your knowledge on to others.

This course could add a whole new dimensionto your enjoyment of
the water.
There appears to be no ready reference to the myriad of laws,
regulations, requirements, and other pertinent items that affect
the owner of a large sailboat. To partially fill this gap, or at
least to make you aware of this potentially useful material, we
have included a recommended "Basic Keelboat Sailor's Library”,
followed by a listing of pamphlets and thoughts for your
perusal.
