Sail Like A PRO

At our Sydney sailing school, we believe the best way to learn to sail is on the water. But the right sailing book can make a huge difference. After years of using manuals that overcomplicated sailing or skipped key steps, we created our own: Sail Like A PRO.

Built from more than 100,000 nautical miles of sailing and teaching experience, Sail Like A PRO is the practical Australian handbook for learning to sail. It covers everything from basic manoeuvres, safety and navigation to emergencies, boat buying, maintenance and racing.

Designed as a pocket guide for beginner sailors and a trusted reference for experienced skippers, the book reflects our proven teaching methods developed at our Sydney sailing school. It also features an inspiring foreword by 8-time Volvo Ocean Race legend Bouwe Bekking.

Originally written for our students, Sail Like A PRO is now available to sailors everywhere through us, Amazon, Boat Books and Whitworths.

The book is very easy to understand. It has helped me with getting to know the parts of a yacht, how to tie a bowline and even gave me tips when I started looking for my own yacht.

Thanks for sending me a copy of your book. My wife (who doesn’t sail) has started reading it and says it’s super simple! Just a super book!

I read it in one go and I’m keeping the book in the navigation table as a reference.

It’s very practical. A lot of the tips mentioned in the book, are actually experience out on the water.
