Tom Cunliffe is one of the world's greatest champions of
traditional sailing boats, and is considered the guru of gaff rig
sailors. Having worked these beautiful boats all his life, his
knowledge is second to none. In Hand, Reef & Steer - winner of
the Best Book of the Sea Award - Tom explains the different sailing
characteristics of classic craft and shares his knowledge of the
special skills required to handle them. He describes how to manage
heavy loads using tackles rather than winches and reveals the
mysteries of making the boat work for you rather than fighting with
her gear. He shares step by step advice on setting up the rig; sail
handling skills (hoisting, setting and reefing) heavy and light air
sailing; manouevring a long-keel boat; losing way, scandalizing and
steering with sails, topsails, watersails, single-luff spinnakers
and fisherman staysails; and much, much more. And for this new
edition Tom had added new material on modern gaffers, replicas and
a whole new section on sailing aspirational large gaffers. Hand,
Reef & Steer, with its wonderful watercolour drawings and
atmospheric photos, will delight all who love the unique character
and grace of classic craft. 'Superb' Cruising 'A delightful book'

Amyr Klink, whose sailing exploits have made him a hero in Brazil,
tells of his daring singlehanded circumnavigation below the
Antarctic Convergence. Surfing the waves in his custom-built
50-foot "aluminum red truck," PARATII, Klink enjoys the quiet
confidence that comes from proper planning, common-sense
technology, and a lifelong fascination with the history of Southern
Ocean sailing. A modern Moitessier, sailing before an Aerorig mast,
Klink proves his seamanship handling tricky boat repairs while
underway, navigating icebergs, negotiating gales and williwaws, and
surfing gigantic waves.
Imray-Iolaire charts for Caribbean are widely acknowledged as the
best available for the cruising sailor. They combine the latest
official survey data with first-hand information gathered over 60

anchorages, facilities and inlets not included on official charts.
