I'm very new to sailing have currently only been sailing dinghy's at my
local sailing club for approx 1 year but i still have a keen interest in
sailing larger boats in the future.

I have recently been offered a place to crew on a J109 for the Aug bank
holiday weekend.

My question is i believe its good practice to keep a log book of all sailing
trips/experience, but i'm un-sure what data i should be keeping within the
log book entries?

i.e. boat type, wind speed, weather, distance, location?

Can you buy proper log books? if so where from
Is there any computer software versions available?
I quiet happy to create my own but would like any info/suggestions as to
what headings i should include.



Many thanks from a keen new sailer

Mark
