Paulsen describes his adventures at sea with several boats he has owned, including the first, when he lacked sufficient sailing knowledge and got caught in a severe storm. Although the text defines most sailing terms and rigging mentioned, a labeled diagram or glossary would have been helpful. Paulsen's white-knuckle accounts will be most appreciated by readers who have sailing experience.
