| For all orders of books made though
this site, Sail Philippines donates a certain percentage to a foundation
that teaches kids how to sail. Please bookmark this page/site, and
support junior sailing by ordering all your books through any page of www.sailphi.org.ph.
Please just start your order or start your search from this page!
You will make your final order directly thru the Amazon order page,
but if you access them thru us, the
kids get the credit. If you bookmark a page on amazon, and return to it later, without passing thru Sail Philippines, the kids don't get the credit! We have tried to include every learn to sail book that Amazon.com carries, but we have excluded "special order" and "out of print" books. If you search Amazon.com for "sail" or "sailing" there will be about 2000 listings! But Amazon cannot necessarily guarantee delivery of all the books. We saw there was a need to filter out what was readily available, and then categorize the available sailing books. We went through all the titles (!!!) and removed the ones that are not available, and categorized the ones that were available. The titles listed on this page should all be ready to ship within 24 hours, or 3 days at the most. They are also the ones with the biggest discounts. Typically, "special order" and "out of print books" don't have discounts. For coffee table books, picture books, nautical history books, almanacs, cruising guides, out of print books, books we might have missed, or for books on other topics (including non-nautical topics), click here.
