365 tips, tricks, hints and cheats relating to all areas of practical seamanship--a daily ready-reckoner to improve skills in boat handling, navigation, living aboard and repairs.
Give this book a year and it will make you a better sailor as 365 experienced sailors share the wisdom of their experience, revealing invaluable suggestions you won't get taught on many sailing courses. Their tips cover the entire breadth of topics relating to practical seamanship, with smart advice, time-saving cheats and ingenious solutions to common problems involving boat handling (from rigging and sails to anchoring and mooring), navigation, and living aboard (including cooking and water supply), along with thrifty hints for simple maintenance and repairs (plus winterizing), and customizing the boat. Ideal for brushing up on a single topic or dipping into when needed, this book is particularly useful to new sailors and Day Skipper students. This isn't a book of secret knowledge, so all sailors--at any level--will benefit from learning something new from the experience of others.Review Quotes
