Sailing
Susie Porter
- Reading
- Read the introductory sections before attempting any technique. Pause at the photographs to identify equipment and actions, then discuss which guidance requires an adult or instructor’s help on the water.
- Themes
- Learning to participate: The book presents sailing as a sport to begin learning, with guidance on schools, equipment, wind, safety and progressing to further skills. Its approach is informational and instructional: it explains entry points and techniques rather than presenting a fictional story or a personal narrative.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to the water-safety guidance and equipment explanations. Practical instructions should complement, rather than replace, supervision and instruction from a suitably qualified sailing professional.
