Year: 1991 Language: English Author: Conrad Dixon Genre: Handbook Publisher: Adlard Coles Nautical; Edition: First ISBN: 0-229-11739-2 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 130 Description: Many books on seamanship assume a fit willing crew available to haul on ropes, handle the sails and heave in anchors - but often there are just two people aboard to cope with everything. It therefore becomes of paramount importance that the shorthanders perfect safe and efficient techniques for berthing and casting off, raising and lowering sails, anchoring, picking up a mooring or dealing with a serious emergency like man overboard. Shorthanded Seamanship is a new approach to-the range of problems and difficulties likely to be experienced by a shorthanded crew during a voyage. With its collection of down to earth advice, tips and short-cuts, the two-handed crew will be able to handle a boat by themselves in safety and with confidence. It is sure to be one of their most closely guarded on board items. Additional info: THE AUTHOR This is Conrad Dixon's tenth book; his sixth for Ad lard Coles, and in it he distills the essence of 40 years' experience sailing the grey-green waters of the British Isles. His selected way of life is to spend his winters writing on maritime subjects, in order to spend his summers cruising the coasts of Europe in his much cherished ketch, the Waveney Harrier.
