Sailing In Balance: A Boat and Sail Handling Manual for Women and Their Shipmates was written by Capt. Tricia Birdsell specifically for women, though men appreciate it as well. In fact, clients often tell us that their partners read the book before they did and were impressed by what they learned. A quote from a client states it best...

"As you know, I am looking forward to your sailing class in July. Until recently, however, my husband John had some doubts as to the full benefit of such training. He felt that he could easily teach me any sailing skills where I lacked proficiency. This changed when your manual arrived. John was interested in looking through it, and thought that it was comprehensive & well organized. That was not the deciding factor in changing his mind. He began to read the list, "Male & Female Aspects of Learning", and immediately recognized that we might respond in very different ways. His reaction was "I'm really glad you're going to Tricia's Sailing School and finally I'm not jealous that someone else may be responsible for teaching you the skills you wish to acquire." Harmony reigns! Thank you for the insight. Hester R., offshore cruiser of 26,000 miles.

Well organized with plenty of real life examples, Sailing In Balance: A Boat and Sail Handling Manual for Women and Their Shipmates is easy to read and understand. The manual closely follows course content, thus allowing women to get the most out of the seminars and men to know and understand what their partners have learned.

For those unable to take a course, Sailing In Balance: A Boat and Sail Handling Manual for Women and Their Shipmates walks you through the process of understanding your boat and the art of sailing.
