Reading Stuart Wier's excellent essay on Learning to Sail (see below), I am reminded of similar advice from another era: viz. E.F. Knight's Sailing as used by John in WDMTFTS and by Dick in TP&TM. I have recently acquired a copy of Knight's later, and rather more practical, Small Boat Sailing, and would be glad to add that to the Literary Pages if enough people are interested.
