About this product
Product Information
The vast majority of sailing yacht scenarios comprise a couple sailing the vessel together, and needing to carry out all manoeuvres and activities themselves with no help from a back-up crew. Their boat handling, navigation, sail handling, anchoring and mooring skills all have to be carried out both efficiently and effectively, preferably with the minimum of physical effort (to conserve energy)...But most sailing technique books assume a crew of 3 or 4, all willing to lend a hand. This book is therefore a first, addressing the most common sailing scenarios that anyone cruising will have to deal with, and providing clever, original, highly effective (and most importantly successfully tried and tested by the author) techniques and solutions for dealing with the huge variety of operations needed on a boat - from sail setting and reefing, to picking up mooring buoys in a variety of wind and tide situations (quite a stressful operation in confined quarters!), anchoring, berthing and leaving a pontoon shorthanded, picking up a man overboard, sailing in fog and heavy weather - and even going up the mast...This book will be a godsend to anyone sailing single or shorthanded - including couples with young children who need to be supervised by one parent whilst the other runs the boat...Organised into techniques/cruising scenarios, the book features step by step photos showing exactly how to approach each situation and carry out the task in hand.

His trickbag is a delight that will change the habits of many experienced yachtsmen and make life easier for many newcomers." - Sailing Today, Duncan Wells tackles a vast range of topics from marina berthing to anchoring.

GREAT book! Best $12.00 I've spent all year. The tip on how to keep leather shoe laces from un-tying themselves is alone worth the price of the book. It arrived very quickly, and was much better than described. VERY pleased with the transaction...
