Instructions in sailing
About
Hilary Tunstall-Behrens was a young instructor in the british Outward Bound School, founded during the Second World War in Aberdovey by Lawrence Holt and Kurt Hahn. He served in mine-sweepers during the war, sailed in the four-masted basque Pamir...
Tunstall-Behrens reduces technical jargon to a minimum and deals with sailing methods, theory and principle of sailing, sea and weather lore, points in buying a boat and preparing her for sea, navigation, knots, seamanlike safety precautions, the law of the sea, the merits of the various sailing rigs, and even includes a glossary of sea terminology.
