Maritime bookstore, all the sailing and navigation books

Our maritime bookstore offers you a wide range of sailing books to learn and master all aspects of sailing. As a beginner, you will find literary works gathering all the knowledge you need, from the choice of the boat, to the knowledge and understanding of your boat. For the expert, you will find complete books on learning to sail detailing reminders and advanced techniques to improve your practice.

The master in this field is Vagnon. Many books are available in our maritime bookstore covering a wide range of marine guides, coaching as well as the famous Vagnon manuals.

In addition to books and guides, you can also buy sticky notes and memos containing all the essential knowledge for your navigation.

Learn sailing through books

Revising your code and taking your boating license will not allow you to know everything about sailing and how to manage your boat. That's why it is essential to have a maritime bookstore with everything you need to go to sea without worries.

The first stone to add to your library is without a doubt The essential Vagnon boater's book. This book summarizes in a simple and illustrated way all the rules to know from the acquisition (with the registration), to the passage of the license, then to the navigation until the pleasure fishing.

Mastering the gestures, maneuvers and the different components of navigation is not enough to make your sea trip a success. An aspect often neglected is the comfort and life on board. The guide Vagnon: Successful Sailing is a navigation book that prepares you for all situations on board. From technical advice to well-being tips, you will learn about managing emotions, fear, seasickness, stress, but also about your organization on board, provisioning and your composition with the different equipment.

Finally, to make sure you don't miss out on any of the sailing and navigation vocabulary, you can get our Vagnon boater's primer. It contains more than 300 terms you need to know when you go sailing. This book is a true lexicon essential to your library.

Books to improve your skills and navigation guides

Once you have mastered the first rules and sailed for the first time thanks to the sailing books presenting the basics of sailing and mastering the basic gestures, you can move on to the next step with books and boat guides providing more detailed information.

A must-have for sailing is without a doubt the Imray Guide. These guides are references in the world of navigation and have been translated into French by Vagnon. Find all our Imray Guides - Vagnon Editions in our maritime bookshop. Each of these guides presents for its geographical area (Atlantic coast, Mediterranean coast, English Channel, Greece, etc.) descriptions with the cartography of the place, its history, the places to visit, the ports and anchorages, the services present, etc. Navigate without fear in these areas thanks to these boat guides.

The second essential book is The Vagnon of Sailing. Nearly 1,000 pages of shared experience and pedagogy designed to teach you and help you improve your skills. Whether you are a boater in search of knowledge or a trainer in search of improvement, the sailing guide is bound to have secrets to share with you. It is a real bible for sailing boats!
