About this listen

Introduction to Sailing is veteran sailor Christian Williams’ candid and highly entertaining invitation to boats and the sea. Writing for new sailors of every kind, he evokes the joy of wind and water in an intimate style that begins with dinghies, which he advocates as most fun of all, and continues through cruising boats small and large and for every budget.

His invitation to join him on a tiny sunfish is itself a short course in how to sail any boat, and from there he leads us on a hands-on practical tour of daysailers, pocket cruisers, and the offshore sailboats of dreams, all informed by his own experience in dinghy and offshore racing, long-distance cruising, and survival in gales and storm. After 30,000 miles at sea Williams’ enthusiasm is contagious, and his more than 10 million views on YouTube have made him a social influencer.

Conceived as an audiobook, this extended personal conversation is an invaluable course in how to get started sailing, what boat to buy and how to pay for it, and the value of forever directing our imagination beyond the horizon ahead.
