    A whole new jargon

    Holy cow, a whole new vocabulary to learn. Most "How to" books tell the carpentry part or what tools you'll need which most people are familiar with. But this little book will get a sail up and down the Cats Paw dinghy I'm building once I get familiar with the jargon. Oh well, a paragraph at a time. Obviously the first boat I've built.
