The Sailing Dictionary

The dictionary has more than 4,000 terms, including definitions of well-established words and phrases as well as new terms resulting from modern navigation electronics, grand prix racing, and other developments since the first edition was published in 1981. The entries vary in length from a single sentence to paragraphs of 10 sentences or more. Many are accompanied by line drawings, which, in many instances, make the definitions clearer....The Sailing Dictionary is an essential purchase for libraries building strong sailing collections.
