Sailing is fun for everyone. No matter where you are or how old you are, anyone can get involved. There are only two things you need to get afloat - a kitbag full of enthusiasm, and this book. In this ultimate beginner's guide, yachtsman and writer Simon Jollands takes the helm to show newcomers of any age that sailing is easier than people sometimes think. He quickly covers how to get afloat before exploring what you can do when you are on board: - Learn how to steer the boat - Understand how sails work, and how to hoist them - Find out how to use an anchor - and how to get free again! - Learn how to tie useful knots - Know what to do if there's a man overboard - Discover the curious intricacies of how toilets work on a boat... All the simple stuff is covered too, from what clothes to wear to getting on board safely. With a glossary of boating terms, and clear colour diagrams and photos throughout, this book makes everything easy to understand, so even somebody who has never stepped foot on a boat before can quickly learn the ropes.

Eine Einfuhrung in die physikalischen Grundlagen des Segelsports fur die an Naturwissenschaften interessierten Segler, die schon immer wissen wollten, wie Segeln tatsachlich funktioniert. "Physik des Segelns" fuhrt zunachst in die einfachen Grundsatze und Bedingungen des Segelns ein, wie beispielsweise das Kraftegleichgewicht wahrend der Fahrt. Anschliessend wird aus den Eigenschaften von Luft und Wasser und den dynamischen Grundgleichungen das Entstehen dieser Krafte dargelegt. Das Buch raumt mit verbreiteten falschen Vorstellungen auf und schreitet systematisch von der Betrachtung zweidimensionaler Phanomene zu dreidimensionalen Phanomenen voran. Von Erscheinungen innerhalb der Medien Luft und Wasser geht es weiter zu den Erscheinungen an ihrer Grenzfl ache, den Schwerewellen des Wassers und dem damit verbundenen Widerstand. Mit der Kenntnis aller Beitrage zur Vortriebsleistung wird erlautert, wie sie aufeinander abgestimmt werden mussen, um ein optimales Segeltempo zu erreichen. Abschliessend werden zeitlich veranderliche Phanomene wie Manover und das Arbeiten des Bootes im Seegang betrachtet, und die Materialfestigkeit von Takelage und Rumpf diskutiert.
