Summary: Non english finally at ease!
Review: The sailing world has as many others its own vocabulary and manners. Obviously the French speaking sailing world has a somewhat different attitude and idioms when talking to their favourite leisure or business. When boat crews of various nationalities meet they must find a common language. Most often the french speaking crews have the most difficulties to express their views and understand the english speaking ones. "A to Z of sailing terms" is a simple, most useful tool to quickly ensure that the terms used are not only correct but that you will not feel out of place with English speaking sailors. A great help to non english navigators and a easy tool to help communication and conversation. Thanks to this book, I have more friends on seas !
