Going aboard a sailing yacht for the first time is an exciting
experience, but it can be a bit daunting. It introduces you to many
unknowns: terra firma is left behind, the boat is propelled by
something you can't see (the wind), there are ropes everywhere and
a whole new vocabulary opens up! Your skipper will brief you on the
key things you need to know, but this book is a great opportunity
to learn a bit beforehand which will give you the basic knowledge
to work the boat, be safe, have fun... and be asked back for more!
Written in a friendly and approachable way, it assumes no nautical
knowledge and uses diagrams and photographs to demystify the art of
sailing. Devised to be read by new crew before they arrive at the
boat, it is also great to keep on board as a quick and easy
reference guide. Ideal for skippers to give to anyone joining them
on board for the first time. As soon as a person steps aboard they
are crewing: drawn into casting off, hoisting sails, winching and
even steering. It's impossible to cover everything in your
briefing, so any knowledge they can gain beforehand is a blessing
and will make your yacht a happier, safer place for everyone.
