ISSA Textbooks

Our ISSA Sailing Training Textbooks are professionally illustrated study guides designed to support students through their sailing and powerboat training. Each handbook follows the syllabus of its corresponding ISSA course and provides a practical reference for both new and experienced sailors.
Developed by Sail in Asia in collaboration with the International Sailing Schools Association (ISSA), these official training handbooks support students through both recreational and professional sailing qualifications.
Whether you’re preparing for your first sailing course or progressing towards more advanced qualifications, ISSA training handbooks provide clear explanations, practical guidance and internationally recognised course content.
Professionally illustrated and clearly structured, each handbook has been designed to complement practical, on-the-water training while providing an invaluable reference long after your course has finished.
If you wish to purchase an ISSA handbook as well as enquire about an ISSA sailing course, please complete each separately, as they follow different processes.
Whether you're studying before your course, revising afterwards or simply building your sailing knowledge, your handbook remains a valuable reference for years to come.
Printed copies may also be available for selected courses. Please contact our team for further information.
