It's an excellent guide to understanding boats and how the wind and water affect them. Author/illustrator Jan is an "explainer"... and this book does just that. You'll see drawings of different types of boats and understand what makes a schooner a schooner, a catboat a catboat, a yawl a yawl... and more. He uses ants and peanuts to explain vectors. How can you miss-out on ants and peanuts? And yes, the book gives you the basics of sail maneuvers.
