While Fitzgerald's approach in his book may be inspirational and novel, as other comments have indicated, the book is a poor excuse for professional writing. Grammar errors abound. Errors on every single page make it difficult to accept that this book was taken as seriously as the author takes the subject matter ("pure" sailing). If you value the English language and writing (or rather editing) as a profession and means of communication, you'll be disappointed with the presentation of the material in this book.Furthermore, diagrams would be extremely helpful along the way in this book, but the complete lack of any visual aids furthers the feeling that the time devoted to this book was inadequate.Be aware that you are buying a first draft of a potentially great book. Barring the technical issues, the general idea of the book and the specific application of that concept is encouraging. If possible, buy the book used so that you don't have to pay the cover price.
