Goteborg's Royal Yacht Club (or GKSS as the Swedish abbreviation would result in) thought it was time to update and improve the material they use for courses within the club. The book is supposed to be used by both children and adults which implies interesting challenges regarding the language.

The book was written and illustrated in several different continents. Two of us were in Malaysia and the third worked from Gothenburg/West Indies/USA/Brasil. This type of creative work benefits so much if you put yourself in new stimulating environments. The book was finished before the dead-line and printed in time for the sailing school in Smogen.
