Looking for a little advise on what I could read to get a good overall
knowledge of sailing. I plan on taking a power squadron class but would
like to know more than nothing before I get there. In fact I know I
don't know anything so that is something...right?

Any advise would be great.

I'd suggest a couple of things, starting at the closest
public library. Gee, do they even have those any more? Read
every book on sailing... well, that will take a long time.
Pick a few with cool pictures, look at the pictures, read
the captions. That's a good start.

Here's a start you can make without leaving the computer,
which appeals to a lot of people these days:

If you happen to be in Boston, this is a great opportunity:

There are local community sailing programs at a lot of
places around the country, they can be somewhat hard to find
though. Very much worth looking for. And you can can often
get a chance to sail by hanging around marinas & sailing
clubs, chatting with people, making friends, and letting it
be known that you'd like to crew.
