The Sailing Dictionary
By Joachim Schult and Jeremy Howard-Williams
Jeremy Howard-Williams has extensively revised Joachim Schult's brilliant work to create this new second edition, which includes modern navigation electronics, grand prix racing, new classics, and a host of other new developments, ensuring that this classic work remains an essential reference for all with an interest in sailing.
"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." —Booklist
