Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's been a long time since I read a sailing book that had anything to do with sailing. This book is ONLY about sailing. All of us who sail dream of cruising in an engineless sailboat, but we've been taught to think that such a boat is impossible or impractical. FitzGerald makes a strong case that a sailboat may be MORE practical than a motorsailor, and that the purposes we have in going to sea may only be met by going to sea in a sailboat. A great read, inspiration, the only complaint I have is the book is too short!

Wind and Tide is a book about sailing. It is perhaps the only book published in recent years that has dealt with sailingand pure, engineless sailing craftin such a effective manner. Not an acedemic exercise or a mere exhibition of traditionalismWind and Tide describes in practical, useful detail the techniques and attitude involved in sailing without engine assist.
