Hi there,
I'd like to buy a book that explains how to teach Laser sailing.

Which one would you recommend?

It'd be aimed at teaching beginners, so nothing too advanced.

BTW, either in English or Spanish

Thanks
 
If you can get hold of it "Ben Ainslie - the Laser campaign manual" is really good and come with a support CD - seeing it done really helps the mesage get across
 
IMHO, the Ainsle book is geared more towards the advanced racing sailor - The Tillman book or Ben Tan's "The complete introduction to Laser sailing" do a better job of reaching the beginner
 
This is a NEW book (August 2006) for BEGINNING SAILORS and contains specific information for instruction

Sailing is a Breeze: Learning to Sail a Laser, Sunfish,​
or Other Small Boat​
Features of Book

There are several unique features to this book, including:
· a focus on learning to sail a small single sail boat (catboat)

· a logical, easily understood, section on how boats sail (i.e. physics of sailing)
· internet references and resources related to sailing
