Navigare necesse est (to navigate is necessary) said Gnaeus Pompey, Roman military and politician of Julius Caesar’s time. Then we might as well sail informed: technique manuals, sailing “rudiments,” boat license quizzes, advice from great sailors, “gastronautical” guides. Everything goes, everything serves your sailor training, which, while it must be practical (woe to the desk sailors) must also rely on a solid theoretical foundation. Before you embark on your summer cruise, now is the time to take advantage of the many offerings in the Sailing Newspaper bookstore. Let’s see what is “simmering” at discounts as high as above 50 percent. (photo https://urbanfragment.files.wordpress.com)
