Year: 2021 Language: English Author: Foerthmann P. Genre: Manual Publisher: tredition GmbH Format: PDF/EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 210 Description: Self-Steering Under Sail is both the title of a book full of information about how to make yourself obsolete in your own cockpit and the subject that has dominated my working existence, bringing me pleasure and friendship and showing how a person can live life in balance on the back of a few simple rules. The very thought of sailing makes me sleepy: my boat comfortably balanced with its Windpilot in control, the skipper dreaming contented dreams in his bunk – over and over again with never the slightest hitch (but sometimes with a Paolo Conte soundtrack). How wonderfully sublime to lie back and feel a well-balanced boat (with windvane self-steering system) sailing itself. All too soon though such thoughts are overtaken by weariness, the mind surreptitiously lulled into sleep because of that mysterious irresistible link between the sounds of the sea and the weight of the seafarer’s eyelids – a trap one can only escape with an ingenious and effective invention, an uncomplaining slave for the helm that leaves the skipper to sleep in peace while keeping the boat in sync with the wind and waves and ticking off the miles at pace.
