Sailing - a Pocket Dictionary by Henry Beard and Roy McKie
This is one of those little 3 inch square books filled with definitions of sailing terms.
A few examples:
Channel: Narrow stretch of deep or dredged waterway bordered by buoys or markers that separates two or more grounded boats.
Regatta: Organised sailing competition that pits your skills against your opponents' luck.
Squall: A sudden and violent gust of wind, often accompanied by rain, that indicates the midpoint of a one-day sailing trip.
