Description
This splendid bible for the small-boat cruiser is based on the fact that sailing close to the coast is what most cruising skippers do -- a kind of voyaging that's often more demanding and far more rewarding than making long ocean passages far from land. This is the perfect book for those who sail in cruisers up to thirty feet in length and who therefore need to know the challenges of navigating in close quarters, how to make the compromise between performance and strength in choosing a boat, and then how to handle it in conditions ranging from heavy weather to calm. Includes handling, seamanship, navigation, maintenance, and the social side with yacht clubs, marina and boatyard, etiquette, racing, flags, and more. - from Amzon
