English-Portuguese Laser Sailing Terms

Created by: Dr. Raul Andrade
Based on Dick Tillman's The Complete Book of Laser Sailing, International Marine, 2000. This dictionary was started in 1999, when I first tried to read the book. Having just been introduced into the sport, that was a fun but not easy task. I hope this glossary will help others get started more quickly. It is assumed - but not always - that the reader has some prior knowledge of high-school English and sailing terms in Brazilian Portuguese. Copyright © 2000 Raul S. Andrade.
