Reddit mentions: The best sports reference books

Like others have said, I would start with lessons and find some people at the local yacht club looking for crew. That is a great way to get out on the water and see how it all feels before committing to a boat. Also ‘Start Sailing Right’ is a good book to check out. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1882502485/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cCpPAbM5WG43M

That's a nice little project.

Pro-Knot cards - inexpensive and useful

Fisherman version

Under $5 each and free shipping with Prime

These things were a great buy, it’s also a fold out ruler which is equally as useful as the knot guide

I was considering buying this other one which is 12 knots vs 10 and intended for saltwater specifically, but it doesn’t have the ruler

According to the Magic: The Gathering Pocket Players Guide, Richard Garfield was aware of "rich kid syndrome" from the very beginning. Maybe Jace TMS's large price-tag influenced his decision to design the next set. Personally, I don't play standard right now and won't for the next 6 months.

It's also in the players guide from around '95

I'll add:

• Yatching Australia's Start Sailing Right, which I believe is based on the US version ...
  
• Start Sailing Right!: The National Standard for Quality Sailing Instruction (US Sailing Small Boat Certification)
