US SAILING Publishes New Book For Beginning Sailors;
Learn Sailing Right! Beginning Sailing Now Available

Portsmouth, R.I. (July 28, 2008) - US SAILING, national governing body for the 
sport of sailing, has announced the release of Learn Sailing Right! Beginning 
Sailing. Written by the country's leading professional sailing instructors, the 
book helps beginning sailors gain confidence on the water by teaching them 
through easy-to-understand text and graphics. 

Following the learning sequence a beginning sailor would follow, Learn Sailing 
Right! starts with a tour of a typical small sailboat, then explains the 
concepts of how sails harness the wind to move a boat through the water. The 
next step puts the sailor on board the boat and describes how to steer and 
adjust the sails to go in the right direction. The book wraps up with seamanship 
skills that make sailing safer and easier.

The foreword is by renowned sailing commentator, historian, and expert sailor 
Gary Jobson (a member of US SAILING's Board of Directors). "For the first time 
aspirant sailing might seem intimidating, but thanks to Learn Sailing Right!, 
one can quickly understand the concepts thanks to simple diagrams and clear 
descriptions," writes Jobson. "This book gets right to the basics and serves as 
a practical guide and handy reference for the entire crew."

The 64-page Learn Sailing Right! is now available online through the US SAILING 
store at http://store.ussailing.org . Cost of the book is $17.95 ($12.50 for US 
SAILING members). It is also available in bulk for less than $6.00 each at 100 
units or more.
