" Editor of Yachting magazine, television and radio commentator on boating events, author of countless articles on sailing subjects, Bill Robinson needs no introduction to sailing enthusiasts. "

" Here, in summing up the joys of a sailing life, he offers help and guidance for the beginner and for those thinking about taking up the sport, and relates experiences saltier sailors will recognize and identify with. He covers fundamentals such as how and why to buy a boat, and that first cruise; family boating, or getting everybody afloat, including wives, young children, and teenagers; racing-from the Caribbean and Aegean to Put-in-Bay, Ohio, and Rhode Island Sounds; chartering with a professional crew, in a bareboat basis, in exotic waters; cruising, the good life that can be lived in the waters of Denmark or New England, South America or the Gulf Stream. "

" Profusely illustrated, this personal and professional record of a life-time of sailing will delight amateur and expert alike. "
