Description: THE word beginner admits of several interpretations. In
writing this book I have had in mind the following :
(a) The absolute beginner-newcomer to all things
nautical; of any age; who has just acquired a boat, or
contemplates acquiring one.
(b) The amateur sailor, perhaps an expert in some
sphere, or at any rate of some experience, who yearns
after wider horizons.
(c) The landsman who has been invited to spend
week-ends afloat with friends, or who finds himself in
any way among nautical company, and as a result is
suffering from an acute inferiority complex.
(d) The landsman lacking all such opportunities, who
yet has salt water in his veins, who falls back upon
vicarious fireside seafaring and wishes for a handbook
which will tell him 'what it is all about'.
Therefore I have concentrated rather upon amateur
'little-ship' seafaring than upon big-ship practice, and
have only introduced the professional aspect occasionally
for comparison, or for the sake of interest.
In all subjects I have tried to start from absolute
beginnings, explaining terminology as I go along, and
taking nothing for granted except, perhaps, in navigation, an elementary knowledge of mathematics.
