Sailing

There are plenty of sailing and seamanship skills that don't feature on the syllabus of even the most advanced sailing course and a wealth of such wisdom can be found in these pages.

This is a selection of the best practical articles from the pages of Yachting Monthly magazine, and will help sailors at every level. Each chapter deals with a specific skill and is highly illustrated with step-by-step photos, ranging from dropping anchor to planning a passage, and from sailing harmoniously with your partner to using onboard electrics. There's advice on fixing an engine to recovering a casualty from the water and much more!

Reviews for Expert Sailing Skills: No Nonsense Advice That Really Works

'Expert sailing advice to make you a better sailor.' (Bookseller Buyer's Guide, August 2011). 'The layout is diverting, the text is lively and the chosen subjects are varied and worthwhile...Thorough, comprehensive and crammed with more pointers than you can shake a boat hook at. A very useful guide.' (Sailing Today, August 2012). This is an excellent distillation of sailing know-how and, at GBP20, good value for money. (Little Ship Club).
