This book will help you handle your yacht smoothly, safely and without fuss. It explains the principles needed to master each situation, letting you work with your yacht rather than against it. You will discover how to asses your boat’s individual characteristics, how to read the wind and stream and how to recognise the impossible manoeuvre. You will also learn how to cope when the engine fails, when someone falls overboard, and other problems rear their ugly heads. With diagrams and photographs to illustrate the principles, you will become adept at handling your boat under both sail and power.
Bill Anderson started sailing off the North Antrim coast in an open fishing boat. He spent 13 years as a seaman officer in the Royal Navy, serving as Navigating Officer of a minesweeper, a frigate and a destroyer. On leaving the Navy he joined the training division of the Royal Yachting Association, where, as Training Manager, he redesigned the RYA Yachtmaster training and examinations programme. Tom Cunliffe is Britain’s leading sailing writer. He is a worldwide authority on sailing instruction and an expert on traditional sailing craft. Tom has been a Yachtmaster Examiner since 1978 and has a gift for sharing his knowledge with good humour and an endless supply of tales of the sea.
