Navigation & seamanship; Sailing

Give this book a year and it will improve your sailing – and that’s if you read only one tip a day. No fewer than 365 experienced sailors share the wisdom of their experience, revealing invaluable suggestions you won’t get taught on many sailing courses.

Their tips include smart advice, time- and money-saving cheats and ingenious solutions across a wide range of sailing issues – from boat handling (including rigging and sails, as well as anchoring and mooring) to living aboard (including cooking and your water supply), along with thrifty hints for simple maintenance and repair (plus winterising), and customising your boat to suit your needs.

Ideal for swotting up on a specific topic or dipping into when needed, there is something for everyone, from new sailors to Day Skipper students and beyond. This isn’t a book of secret knowledge, so all sailors – at any level – will benefit from learning from something new from the experience of others.
