This page features books to improve sailing skills. Many of these books are used in sailing schools, and Yacht club sail training programs, including our own adult sailing programs and Junior sailing programs.
We have some books in or store in stock, to get a list of the titles we carry in the store, click here.
What is listed here
We have tried to include every learn
to sail book that Amazon.com carries, but we have excluded "special
order" and "out of print" books. If you search
Amazon for "sail" or "sailing" there will be about 2000 listings!
But Amazon cannot necessarily guarantee delivery of all the books. We saw
there was a need to filter out what was readily available, and then categorize
the available sailing books. The titles listed on this page should all
be ready to ship within 24 hours, or 3 days at the most. They are also
the ones with the biggest discounts. Typically, "special order" and "out
of print books" don't have discounts.
What is Not listed here -and how to get it.
For coffee table books, picture
books, nautical history books, almanacs, cruising guides, out of print
books, books we might have missed, or for books on other topics (including
non-nautical topics), click
here.
Buy Books thru us and help kids learn to sail.
For all orders of books made though
this site, Amazon.com donates a certain percentage to a foundation that
teaches kids how to sail. Please bookmark
this page/site, and support junior sailing by ordering all your books through
any page of www.sailphi.org.ph. Please just
start your order or start your search from any page of this site.
You will make your final order directly thru the Amazon order page,
but if you access them thru us, the kids get the credit.
