Riassunto

The perfect reference for yachtsmen of all levels, this illustrated pocket guide provides sailors with everything they need to know about how to sail.

Broken down into easy-to-follow, bite-sized units, Sailing Essentials takes readers through key sailing techniques — from hoisting a sail and reading charts to steering a course at night or laying an anchor. Readers will also find information on how to deal with difficult weather conditions and how to tie tricky knots, detailed instructions on man-overboard procedures, and much more.
