Books about Command

When you skipper a boat at sea, you are instantly confronted with the responsibilities of command. To my way of thinking, this challenge is one of the most attractive and facinating aspects of sailing and it makes no difference if your vessel is big or small or your voyage long or short. Once you’ve commanded a boat at sea, stories about command take on a special relevance.

    The first sailing book that ended up influencing my desire to learn how to sail was “The Proving Ground by G. Bruce Knecht” It made me appreciate the work and the decision making involved in sailing.
