Description
Sail confidently and stress-free, with or without a crew, using this indispensable photographic guide to essential sailing techniques.
Now in its third edition, Stress-Free Sailing is the answer to single or short-handed crews' prayers – a step-by-step handbook addressing the most common sailing situations that anyone cruising will have to manage.
Here you will find clever, highly effective and successfully tried and tested shorthanded solutions for dealing with everything from manouevring in a variety of wind and tide configurations, sail setting and reefing, mooring and anchoring, to sailing in heavy weather and new techniques for man overboard, all clearly illustrated with straightforward diagrams and sequence photos. 24 QR codes dotted throughout the book link to online video demonstrations to bring the techniques to life.
As single or short-handers you need to plan carefully, make sufficient preparations and anticipate potential problems. This new edition is a godsend with its original techniques for coping in every situation. It is fully revised throughout with practical tips for different types of boat such as twin-rudder and twin-wheel vessels, new content on in-mast mainsail furling and expanded coverage of the development of navigation and weather technology at sea.
